As Face Britain reaches its climax we have two amazing auctions coming up allowing you to bid for an exclusive self-portrait created by one of our famous Face Britain supporters.

Celebrated artists and a number of celebrities from the world of music, TV and sport, have created self portraits for Face Britain to raise funds for the work of The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts. You can see the portraits in our online gallery.

Face Britain has been developed to give all children and young people aged 4-16 years throughout the UK the opportunity to create self portraits encouraging them to explore their creativity and to consider their own identity and place in history as part of the 2012 generation.
