Heaps Decent are celebrating ten years of being just that, with a rare Sydney charity art auction that will have punters shivering in excitement rather than fear. Thirty-four of Australia's established and emerging artists — from typographers to street artists and mural makers — are offering up limited edition works to be sold under the happiest hammer in town at I He(art) Heaps Decent.
So pick up a paddle and head down to Surry Hills' Special Group Studios on September 27 to bid on visual treasures by the likes of Amok Island, Daniel Boyd, Gemma O'Brien, and more. Entry is free, but you'll have to RSVP via hey@heapsdecent.com.au.
Founded in 2007 by muso legends Diplo, Nina Las Vegas and DJ Levins, the Heaps Decent culture warriors have traversed the country providing art and music workshops to youth in disadvantaged and marginalised communities. All funds raised from the auction will go towards delivering the organisation's upcoming projects. Let's put it this way: it's work worth throwing your pennies at. And if you end up going home with a unique piece of Aussie art, there's not much you can't he(art) about that.
