Our annual collection of original artworks is donated by professional and celebrity artists. The collection celebrates the beauty and colour of the natural world while also raising awareness about the threats facing it, including those posed by human activity.

Diverse artworks, from oils and watercolours to sketches and street art,  exclusively feature endangered species and at-risk wild spaces.

All artwork donated to Sketch for Survival is available to purchase either through our online fundraising auction which takes place in November annually, or from our online or pop-up Affordable Art Gallery.

ALL PROCEEDS support our projects.

All the species featured in our collection are listed on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List – the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species. Most have a categorisation of  Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered which means they face a high risk of extinction in the wild.

We have donated over £350,000 GBP from art to frontline conservation projects around the world and found our exhibitions a really effective way to raise awareness about a whole range of global issues.

In 2021 pieces from our Sketch for Survival and Focus for Survival collections were exhibited in the Blue Zone of COP26 in Glasgow, including in the Leaders’ Lounge (pictured).
