Robert Smith, of alternative rock band The Cure, is selling off prints of his original artwork to raise money for Heart Research UK.
Robert became a patron of the charity in 2020, following his involvement with the charity’s anonymous heART project over the past 2 years. The project, now in its 4th successful year, sees pieces of art from celebrities and artists auctioned on eBay. The twist? Though a full list of contributors is available, buyers don’t know who produced which piece until they receive it.
The artwork for sale is a piece Robert produced for the 2020 anonymous heART project and is titled ‘I WILL KISS YOU FOREVER.’
WHEN Craig Potter announced he was going to run 47 10km runs in a row people asked why such a strange number? But determined Craig is on a mission to raise awareness of the shocking statistic that 47 people a day are dying in Scotland due to cardiovascular disease. You see last year Craig’s mum Theresa, a woman devoted to the community of Kilwinning, passed away suddenly. Theresa became a stalwart within the Kilwinning community working for over 20 years within the Pennyburn area and being integral in helping the team buy their own community centre, Playz for the PRYDE Youth Group.

Robert Smith, of alternative rock band The Cure, has become a Patron for national charity Heart Research UK.
Robert, who is the only continuous member of the legendary band that he co-founded in 1976, has announced his patronage after supporting the charity’s anonymous heART project for the last two years.
The anonymous heART project sees hundreds of anonymous artworks auctioned on eBay, and Robert’s two pieces have raised over £10,000 for the charity’s pioneering research.
Robert, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year as a member of The Cure, is working with the charity on a number of exciting projects, due to be announced in 2021.
