Children at Play

Some of the photos from the Children at Play exhibition at the Royal College of Art.

The exhibition was a twist on your average art gallery. In a nod to the children that inspired it we were served carrot sticks and ice-cream instead of the champagne and fancy canapés that we're so used to. It was a nice change to the norm and the atmosphere around the event was fantastic.  

All of the children's art was up for sale and I've got to point out that most of the children, some as young as five, seem to be far better artists than I. 

On the main auction some of the paintings donated by Chelsea football club sold for an impressive amount, helping to raise money for the 'Right to Play' charity that was being supported by the event.
