Every year, workplace design company Oktra holds an annual art show where they invite people of all ages and experiences to submit a piece of their artwork to be auctioned off for charity. This year, the auction will raise money for the Down’s Syndrome Association (DSA).
We were put forward by Sam who works at the company, as he has a daughter called Ava who has Down’s syndrome.
Sam says: ‘Our hopes for the art show are to get as many people as possible involved in a fun and creative way to raise money for the DSA, while increasing awareness of what the organisation does and how it supports so many families’.
Sam tells us more about Ava here.

You can see all the pieces of art – from painted glass to charcoal drawings and bright abstract pieces – through this Facebook album link. You can also see them in person by visiting the Oktra offices at 6 St Cross Street, London.
There has been more than 250 entries, so there’s bound to be something that takes your eye.
