Ellie is an artist who wants to use the $500 to support a creative fundraising project. She’s helping fellow grantee Emma Moore with the Secret Art Auction, an initiative raising funds for Palestine. The idea is simple: artists create and donate artwork that is auctioned anonymously, letting people connect with the art itself while supporting an important cause. The funding will help cover the practical costs needed to make the auction happen and spread, including buying canvases for artists to work on and covering postage so the pieces can reach buyers. By contributing to these essentials, Ellie is helping more artists take part and ensuring the Secret Art Auction can raise as much support as possible.
