Showcase animal inspired art for Cara Delevingne, Sophia Kerrison, and New Hope

the brief

Cara Delevingne and Sophia Kerrison have teamed up with Talenthouse to celebrate #Art4Animals, a new art-themed campaign which celebrates the joy that animals bring and the importance of having them in our lives.

Illustrators, designers and artists around the world are invited to submit original animal-inspired artwork for the opportunity to have their work produced and sold as limited edition prints on Kids of Dada in aid of New Hope Animal Rescue.

A range of animal loving celebrities will be supporting the cause by submitting artworks which will be auctioned off for the charity at the end of the #Art4Animals campaign.

Submit your work to Talenthouse now within the 'participate' tab and join the conversation at #Art4Animals.

"I’m so excited to be teaming up with Talenthouse to launch #Art4Animals and to support a great art initiative for a good cause and to support my best friend Sophia. Ive always loved art and owning a piece of art is an investment, I see the amazing pieces that my fans put on social media and i feel inspired every day. Owning a pet is not all about the ‘cute factor’; it involves a lot of time, love and money, so if you're thinking about getting any animal as a gift for someone at Christmas, or any time of the year, make sure you are ready for the commitment! This is such an exciting, worthy cause and I can’t wait to see the art work that Talenthouse’s global creative community produce, I hope you will join me in raising money and awareness for all the animals who rely on it." - Cara Delevingne
