Returning to Greenwich Peninsula for the fourth time and hosted by War Child for the second year in a row, the exhibition will transform NOW Gallery into a display of 700 individual sleeve designs submitted by creatives from around the world – ranging from household names to talented newcomers. At the end of the exhibition run, the 700 records feature in an online auction. There’s just one twist: the identity of the artist behind the record sleeve isn’t revealed until it’s sold. Therein lies the secret. All proceeds will benefit War Child. 

Launched in 2012 and now running its ninth edition, Secret 7” has produced and sold 5,600 one-of-a-kind records, raising over £700,000 for various charities to date. The much-loved project is now being relaunched by War Child to support its goal of ensuring a safe future for every child affected by war.
