A Letter in Mind is The National Brain Appeal's annual art fundraiser.

Everyone is invited to create an envelope artwork which will be priced at £85, displayed at Gallery Different, and sold via this online gallery. Works remain anonymous until sold; with artists' names revealed at the end of the exhibition.

Buying an artwork envelope will help us to fund advances that the neurological community so desperately needs.
