We need your support. Following the success of our inaugural 2023 fundraiser, we will once again be running Mini Masterpieces to raise funds for the Australian branch of the International Board on Books for Young People, IBBY Australia. We have invited celebrated Australian children’s book illustrators to donate post-card sized artworks for an online auction. You could OWN one of these gorgeous pieces - we have over 40 on offer.
Formed in 1966, IBBY Australia is one of 82 National sections of IBBY, and each year must pay a membership fee of almost $10 000 to remain part of the international IBBY organisation.
IBBY was established following the Second World War and aims to build bridges to international understanding through children’s books. As you may be aware, IBBY Australia promotes Australian authors and illustrators by submitting their work for several IBBY administered international awards, including:
• The Hans Christian Andersen Award
• IBBY Honour Book List
• The Silent Books collection
• The Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities list
You can read more about IBBY and about IBBY Australia.
The Mini Masterpieces auction will run from 14 November to 28 November, with the original artworks promoted as a unique Christmas gift. Each piece will have a reserve of $75.
