Today was an interesting day and was a great experience.
As part of fundraising for our final degree show catalogue the University of Derby has an agreement with Derby Museum and Art Gallery to allow us 3rd year students to have a 3 day show to raise money. We have been organising a postcard show called Anonymous 08 for the last few months approaching established artists as well as students to produce postcards in any medium for sale in the show. All the proceeds go towards our catalogue.
Today we put the show up, we were kindly given the largest space in the Gallery and were left to our own ideas for the hanging without any interference.
Thanks to all the people at the Derby Museum and Art Gallery for allowing us the opportuninty!
We put up in excess of 300 postcards and the show looks really great and has some fantastic work.
The Preview show is tomorrow (Friday 28th) 5pm – 7pm so if anyone is passing this neck of the woods please call in. There's FREE WINE
We also putting up a Postcard show at an Arts centre in Burton Upon Trent in May. The venue is the Brewhouse Arts Centre
