Henley Festival to champion next generation of artists with exclusive Audi x RISE Silent Auction

Henley Festival Presented by Westcoast – the UK's only boutique black-tie festival – is delighted to announce the launch of the Audi X RISE Silent Auction, in support of the Festival's charitable programme nurturing the next generation of talent: RISE.

The RISE visual artists exhibiting their work in the Audi High RISE Gallery at this year's Henley Festival – Keren Golea, Sara Hoque and Sam Smyth – have each created beautiful, exclusive artworks for the Audi X RISE Silent Auction, with the proceeds of the Auction given to these artists.

The Audi X RISE Silent Auction is running until Monday 10 July (1700hrs BST) and bids can be submitted by email (including full name, mobile number, the bid amount and applicable lot number to office@AudiUKVIP.co.uk with "Audi X RISE Artists Auction Bid" in the subject) or at Henley Festival 2023, which returns to the stunning riverside in Henley-on-Thames from Wednesday 5 July – Sunday 9 July 2023 with an unforgettable celebration of international music and arts.

Audi is the Festival's official car partner, and a key supporter of the RISE initiative, which nurtures the next generation of talent by giving a platform to young musicians, comedians and visual artists taking their first steps on stage, as well as offering opportunities for young people aspiring to work behind the scenes.
