This winter, AOAP Projects invites more than 160 artists to create original works on 5 x 5 inch birchwood panels in aid of Hospital Rooms, the arts and mental health charity that works with artists and service users to transform NHS inpatient mental health hospitals. The collection will be auctioned online from 29 November to 10 December 2026, with a one night opening at The Bomb Factory, Marylebone, on 8 December.

Each artist has been invited to make an original piece on the same small plywood panel, bringing together internationally recognised names, Royal Academicians and emerging painters in a single collection. Funds raised will support Hospital Rooms' upcoming programme, bringing creative workshops and museum artworks into wards across the country.

Sound & Vision is back for its third year in support of War Child.

Each year a leading musician chooses a lyric, and that single line becomes the starting point for a collection of original artworks by contemporary artists. Past editions have taken their cue from David Bowie and Kate Bush. This year's lyric comes from another artist whose work needs no introduction, and we will be announcing who in October.
