** Entries for our 2026 Art Auction are now open. Please see below for details.**
After the success of our first Masterpieces Art Auction, raising over £4,000 for the Blue Sky Bursaries Appeal, we are delighted to announce that we are back for another year.
We are encouraging entries from all artists, amateur and professional alike, and in any medium you choose. Whether you prefer to sketch with charcoal, blend with oils, or even create art from textiles, we would love for you to enter. Help us raise funds for our Blue Sky Bursaries Appeal, increasing accessibility to a transformative Eastbourne education.
Pieces must be no larger than A5 (14.8cm by 21cm) in size, and all we require is your name and contact details (year group and house for pupils). We have some good quality cardstock templates that can handle a multitude of mediums, that can be collected from the Art Department, ES Office, or College Reception. We are also able to send these out by post, and are happy to collect artworks in the local area or, if you are further afield, send a pre-paid envelope for you to send your piece back in, as we are keeping entry to this year's Art Auction completely free.
Deadline for entries is Friday 5 June, and bidding will open on Friday 12 June at our launch event in the Birley Centre. You will be able to view some of the incredible works donated, enjoy early bidding opportunities, meet some of the artists, and savour champagne and our chef's signature canapés. Registration for this event will open in due course.
If you are interested in entering a piece into the auction, please do get in touch at es@eastbourne-college.co.uk.
