At the end of 2010, Huxley was lucky enough to be invited to give a Purchase Prize at The Discerning Eye exhibition in London. 

The Discerning Eye is an educational charity, established in the UK in 1990, to encourage a wider understanding and appreciation of the visual arts and to stimulate debate about the place and purpose of art in our society, and the contribution each one of us can make to its development. Check them out here - it is a great charity and a great Exhibition.

Here you can see Huxley’s founder, Benjamin Benton, talking about why Huxley gives a prize at the exhibition and why he chose the painting he chose. 

The painting (below) is called Lighter Sequence 1 and is by the young artist Rosemary Lewis. As you can see the painting not only channels a colour palette close to Huxley’s heart, but also uses the classic plastic lighter which somehow seems to resonate with both Huxley and with our target audience. At least we hope it does.

With big names such as Chris Martin and Rihanna joining Huxley in supporting Kids Company, their new campaign ‘Peace of Mind’ is already set to be another success.

Kids Company supports vulnerable children to help transform fragile lives providing sustained loving care so that they can manage their traumatic experiences of abuse, violence and neglect. Peace of Mind is a campaign trying to raise £5 million to aid this cause, and they need your help to spread their message.

Donations can be made through the interactive virtual brain at www.kidspeaceofmind.org and by donating just £5 you can light up one neuron and change the life of a vulnerable child. The virtual brain is a beacon of hope for the thousands of children they support.

Donators are able to personalise their neurons and link with friends neurons.
