Young Art For A Good Cause is an exhibition of young artists wanting to make the world a more beautiful place, in more than one way.

The exhibition is an initiative taken by the network Young Investors, a membership based organisation which aims to attract young people investing in social entrepreneurship and willing to network for their own future. Their goal, in their own words, is to promote social entrepreneurship, global sustainability, give aid to global organisations working for equality and to end poverty and hunger as well as give aid to organisations and people working for education and social entrepreneurship.

The Young Art exhibition will be held in a 250 square meter venue which will be covered with the donated work of up-and-coming artists. All art will be for sale, with the proceeds being invested in social entrepreneurship, both locally and globally, through Young Investors.

Participants from schools such as Konstfack, Berghs, Konsthögskolan, Nyckelviken, Stockholms Fotoskola, Grafikskolan and Fantasihuset will be on site during the exhibiitons, as will the initiators from the Young Investors network.

When: Exhibition opens November 26th and goes until Sunday 29th.12noon-7pm daily.

Auction: All work will be for sale and will be auctioned off Saturday 28th 2pm.

Where: Park Venue, Engelbrektsgatan 9-11, Stockholm.

Why: By donating a piece of their work artists will have a unique opportunity to publicise their art and help others at the same time.

How do I participate: Send pictures of the piece/s you would like to add, and thus donate, to the exhibition, a presentation of yourself (max 200 words), as well as a photo of yourself to youngart@younginvestors.se

Svenskt Tenn open a new exhibition tomorrow and it will include silverware designed by our very own Swedish Prince:
Setting the table The exhibition elaborates on the table-setting theme using classic, modern and other styles, with a large selection of our most beautiful products. It also shows how table settings can signal new thinking, harmony, extending the boundaries - and also awakening curiosity and bringing pleasure.

It seems that our Prince has been studying design the last couple of years, initially at Forsbergs Design School here in Stockholm, and then at the Rhode Island School of Design in the US where he apparently won a competition to develop the logo for Martha's Vineyard Museum, under a pseudonym.

The Prince has now followed in his great uncle Sigvard Bernadotte's footsteps as a designer working in silver and the silverware is the first to be launched under his own brand CPB. The production is in cooperation with MEMA/GAB, one of Europe's leading producers of handmade silverware.
The only photo I have seen of the silverware is in SvD but they do not have the article online. Good for you Carl Philip I say, but unfortunately there seems to be a lack of overall publicity for the event - in true Swedish style we will undoubtedly find out more after the opening of the exhibition. I found an article in Swedish Elle and a couple of local papers and this blog (Swedish) for those who can't get enough of royalty. Not even any info on the royal website nor a CPB website - is this another example of jante law??? Anywhere else it would be shouted from the highest rooftops!

The exhibition will be on until May 7th and the silverware will be available in store from the middle of April.

Edited to say I found this photo - click on it to see where it came from:
At the end of the blog post you will find a link to another post about the competition in the US.
