Less than 24 hours left on the Tom Oldham exclusive Florence and The Machine print for The 100 Project.

The 100 Project is a charitable initiative with the aim to nurture the creative talent of tomorrow by putting 100 young people from the east end of London through a term at The Prince’s Drawing School. Artists of today kindly help us to raise the money.

Each week, a single piece is auctioned online with a reserve price of £100 - all money raised is put towards The 100 Project fund.

Coming up soon: Noma Bar, Owen Davey, and the inimitable Quentin Blake.
