Art lovers are invited to enter Midlands Arts Centre's Charity Raffle and be in with the chance of winning one of six original artworks created by Sir Grayson Perry, Philippa Perry and renowned celebrities including Joe Wilkinson, Jo Brand, Dame Prue Leith and Katy Wix.

The celebrity artworks are currently on display as part of the major exhibition Grayson's Art Club, alongside an original ceramic artwork contributed by Sir Grayson Perry. Inspired by the popular TV series by Channel 4 and Swan Films, the exhibition features over 100 artworks by celebrities, established artists, and members of the public whose works were chosen during season three of the show.

Since opening in Birmingham, Grayson's Art Club: The Exhibition has welcomed over 30,000 visitors from across the UK to the arts centre, and has been extended due to popular demand. The exhibition now finishes on Sunday 25 June, 2023.

Speaking of the exhibition, Grayson Perry, said: "MAC in Birmingham is the perfect venue for our third Art Club exhibition. I always have a great time in this city and suspect it might be the coolest place in the UK."
