    With little over a week left of this campaign and as there seems to be quite a few on SB familiar with his work, I thought I'd share this here:

    Art Fund (UK) is currently trying to raise money to save the home and garden of British filmmaker, artist and activist Derek Jarman. Situated on the barren, windswept Dungeness coastline, in the shadow of the nuclear power station, the house is now at risk of being sold privately, its contents dispersed, and artistic legacy lost.

    Art Fund needs to raise £3.5m by 31 March 2020 to purchase Prospect Cottage and to establish a permanently funded programme to conserve and maintain the building, its contents and its garden for the future. They are currently 87% funded thanks to more than 6200 funders.

    Backer rewards include prints, objects and works of art by artists including Michael Craig-Martin, Tacita Dean, Jeremy Deller, Isaac Julien, Howard Sooley, and Wolfgang Tillmans, ranging from £25 to £1,250.

    I know these are hard times for all of us but every contribution helps! I've made a small donation towards the project myself and hope by sharing it here a few more sympathetic to the cause choose to chip in.
