This special exhibition, to be held at The Crate Gallery Notting Hill, is the result of the participation of over 300 photographers, amateur and professional, who together in recent weeks have submitted an array of dazzling photographs dealing with the theme of Flux.
An expert judging panel of artists, art curators and critics has painstakingly reviewed the 1100 photographs and finally selected their top 60 images to be revealed, exhibited and auctioned off at the show.

We hope you can join in the fun at some stage during the three days.
And fun it shall be, but we remind you of the reason why this is all happening - to support and raise awareness of the plights of two fantastic and worthwhile charities, The MS Trust and Help for Heroes.
Any donation, big or small, will be hugely appreciated and we hope you will walk away both with a piece of art that you will cherish and the feeling that you have made a difference.
Many thanks to your fantastic response up until now - to the brilliant photographers who have so generously donated their prized photographs to the cause, to those who have spread the word so magnificently and to you for showing up and placing your bids.
Flux could not happen without you.

The HOG ALLIANCE is a charitable venture, run by the House of Gerrish, consisting of a series of exhibitions showcasing YOUR work to the art buying world.
It is set up to give you the opportunity to express yourselves, release your inhibitions and be an artist.
The HOG ALLIANCE will be staging a series of pop-up events covering a diversity of themes and mediums through your work.
You can be an established artist, an emerging artist, an amateur artist or a complete beginner - The Alliance's aim is to create a collaboration through art and ideas.
Each event will showcase up to 60 individual works which will be silently auctioned throughout the course of the event, with proceeds going to charity.
The events will take place at House of Gerrish's resident gallery, The Crate, situated in Notting Hill, just off the Portobello road.
The CRATE GALLERY is a 10 by 18 foot project room for contemporary art in London. A simple white rectangle, it is one of the smallest exhibition spaces in Europe.
Situated in Notting Hill, in a converted garage in a mews off the Portobello Road, it is run by The House of Gerrish.
It offers an intimate and neutral environment in which artists can present a single important work of art or a coherent body of work to a wider public. For information on upcoming shows please visit the website.
