Our MA year are beginning to think about ways to fundraise for the end of year show. I have come up with the idea of having a RCA ‘Secrets’ style exhibition in which to raise money. We would recruit artists to kindly send us postcard sized pieces of work, which people would buy for a set price, not knowing who it was buy until seeing the signature on the back. Julie Mccalden, who is in her 2nd year of the MA, but also helps to run Motorcade/Flashparade gallery in Bristol has said that we could possible hold the event there – which would be amazing!
I think generating publicity for the show (and for this money I feel will be rather vital!) will be integral in getting a buzz around the event. I know the BA Fine Arters have been fundraising for this for months – hence why we need to get a move on!
Exciting news for me – Some images of my work are to be included in the next issue of the Garageland mag, which Transition Gallery in London produces. Very excited about being included in that! The images shown are some being used in the publicated, from my piece ‘The New Girl, I.’ (2011).
