More than £19,000 was raised for an art project at an auction of decorated bags.
Jane Blumberg, a trustee of The Art Room, with some of the bags
Fundraisers for The Art Room persuaded artists and other celebrities to produce a work of art on a brown paper bag, which was then box framed and auctioned at Modern Art Oxford.
Among people who provided decorated bags were Korky Paul, Emma Faull, Philip Pullman, Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Lalla Ward and Richard Wentworth.
The star piece of the auction was a table designed and decorated by some of the children who attend The Art Room.
Based at Oxford Community School, in east Oxford, The Art Room provides art therapy for children aged between seven and 13 who are experiencing difficulty managing mainstream education.
