The Royal College of Art’s annual postcard exhibition and sale is celebrating its 21st year in March 2015. All postcards are made and donated by professional artists, designers and illustrators, plus up-and-coming students from the College’s Fine Art programmes
For one day only, the cards will be sold to the public in a huge sale, with every postcard costing just £55 each. The secret is that all postcards are displayed anonymously, so viewers don’t know the identity of the artist until they have made their purchase. In previous years, postcards have been donated by David Hockney, Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst, Sir Peter Blake and Grayson Perry. Potential collectors will be able to view all the postcards in person or on-line from 12 March. Proceeds from the sale goes to the Fine Art Student Award Fund, helping emerging artists at a formative stage in their careers.
Sale day: Saturday 21 March 2015, 8am-6pm
