About The Crisis Commission The Crisis Commission will see some of the most celebrated artists of our day unite to bring major new works to a spectacular exhibition and auction in Spring 2012. The landmark event will be a highlight of London's art scene, bringing together contemporary artists of the highest calibre who have rarely, if ever, exhibited together before. Exhibition curated by Laurence Sillars, Baltic, Gateshead. The Crisis Commission exhibition takes place in one of London's most prestigious venues, Somerset House, 14 March - 22 April 2012. A following auction of exhibited works will take place at Christie's on Thursday 3 May, with all proceeds going to Crisis, the UK's national charity for single homeless people.

Homeless and vulnerably housed clients of Crisis will have their work exhibited alongside the established artists for the duration of the Crisis Commission exhibition.
