YES FUTURE

The last few weeks have seen art institutions worldwide respond to the COVID-19 crisis with vital fundraising initiatives. Now, inspired by projects like Pictures for Elmhurst and 100 Photographers for Bergamo, Études has launched YES FUTURE, an extensive sale of limited-edition prints by acclaimed photographers including Ari Marcopoulos, Peter Sutherland and an image by Winter Vandenbrink that featured in the HERO Summer Zine 3.
From conceptual works to intimate portraits and evocative landscapes, the fundraiser – which launched yesterday and will through until May 10th – has something for anyone looking to snap up an exclusive and support a good cause in the process. Everything will be sold at a fixed donation price of €100, with all proceeds going directly to All United Against Coronavirus, an alliance of French institutions rallying to fight the pandemic by accelerating treatment and aiding vaccine development research.
To make the project extra covetable, each artist will sign their work on a sticker, ready to be packaged and shipped out to lucky buyers when Paris-based artisan lab Wombat resumes its normal activity. Be quick though: there’s just ten of each print available, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Prints are available to buy on the YES FUTURE website until May 10th.
