Kate Bush and
Art on a Postcard have teamed up to invite 52 artists to create artworks inspired by her song
'Running Up That Hill', contributing to the
Sound & Vision 2025 fundraising event.
The auction, set to take place online from 28th October to 13th November via
Givergy, will feature works from notable artists including Maggi Hambling CBE, Peter Doig, and Corbin Shaw. These artists have drawn inspiration from the lyric, "If I only could, I’d make a deal with God," which was personally selected by Kate Bush. The event coincides with the 40th anniversary of 'Running Up That Hill' and the '
Hounds of Love' album.
Kate Bush comments, "All wars leave horrific scars; ruined lives, families ripped apart, life-changing injuries, trauma, and loss on a massive scale – but it’s the children who suffer the most in so many ways. Their past, present and future melt away into fear and uncertainty. It is more important than ever we support War Child and their invaluable work providing immediate aid to children caught in conflict all over the world including in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, and Syria. Projects like Sound & Vision harness the power of art and music to make a real difference to children living through war. Thank you for supporting this project."
