Shrewsbury Secret Artist Sale

It’s official – we have handed over an amazing amount for charity this year!

The Secret Artist Sale 2025 raised almost £13,000 for three good causes - The Hive arts centre in Shrewsbury, Grinshill Animal Rescue and Alzheimer’s Society.

Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful artists, the efforts of our hardworking volunteer team and of course the fabulous support of the public we sold around 200 pieces of original artwork.

“There was an overwhelming response to this, our third Secret Artist Sale, and we were thrilled to be able to present £12,860 to charity – a superb amount,” said Jonathan Soden, one of the organisers, who hosts the event at The Soden Collection on Wyle Cop.

“Yet again people queued overnight to be amongst the first customers through the door and there was a fabulous atmosphere, with everyone pleased to be part of such an innovative art sale.

“This is the third Secret Artist Sale and in total we will have raised almost £35k for charity – quite an achievement – and we will be back in 2027!”

The 2025 event was sponsored by Halls Fine Art and also received support from Callaghan Framing, Belle Vue Arts Festival and retailer Oberon.
