This year LOVEBOX have teamed up with Art Against Knives to raise awareness and money for the worthy cause. The charity was born out of the tragic, unprovoked stabbing of Central St Martins Student Oliver Hemsley and has gained the support of artists and celebrities including Tracey Emin, Giles Deacon, Vivienne Westwood, Antony Gormley, Tim Walker, Rankin…the list goes on.

The charity has set up long term projects engaging young people from troubled areas in art workshops and have recently launched Darkroom a permanent space to nurture raw talent in these communities. The work that Art Against Knives carry out is amazing, and such a worthy and necessary cause. Support them, follow them and spread the word. You can see a full list of events on their website. And don’t forget to appreciate the art.
