Celebrated artists and celebrities from music, TV, and sports have created self-portraits for Face Britain to raise funds for The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts. Among these prestigious works is a self-portrait by Coleraine’s World and Olympic rower, Alan Campbell.
Face Britain has brought together a diverse array of self-portraits from notable figures in various fields. The initiative aims to raise funds for The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts, an organization dedicated to providing arts education to young people across the UK.

These self-portraits will be auctioned on eBay from May 3 to May 13, with a live event at Christie’s, King Street, London on May 9, featuring works by established artists like Maggi Hambling and Tracey Emin.
Alan Campbell, Britain’s leading single sculler, has added his self-portrait to the Face Britain collection. Campbell, who recently won his seventh consecutive title at the GB Rowing Team Senior Trials held at Eton/Dorney, will also compete in the World Cup series next month. His self-portrait captures him with his arm aloft, celebrating a victory, symbolizing his relentless spirit and dedication.
Face Britain is more than just an auction; it’s a platform designed to inspire children and young people aged 4-16 across the UK to explore their creativity and consider their identity. The project encourages participants to create self-portraits using various mediums, from paint to leaves and sticks, charcoal to clay. Some have even combined photography and painting to create cubist-style portraits, while others have used objects to represent their personalities.
You can view the portraits in the online gallery at Children & Arts Face Britain Auction Portraits. The website provides details on how to participate in the auction and support this noble cause.
Face Britain is a remarkable initiative that not only raises funds for arts education but also encourages young people to explore their creativity and identity.
