As we are always looking out for competitions and events to get involved with, this year we decided to enter some donated work into the infamous Cupola Under the Bed sale. We had a few ex-students from last who very kindly donated their work to the department and to TRAC, so we picked out some of our favourite pieces from their coursework to sell at the Cupola along with some older work that was also donated. If you have never visited the Under the Bed sale, it is a real experience! Piles and piles of paintings, canvases, photography, printmaking, sculpture, jewellery - the works! It was lovely to see our work displayed amongst so many beautiful pieces, with one of Nicole's skelebobs even taking pride of place on the wall next to the shop window!
Yesterday we received back our unsold work and how much we had made.
We made a respectable... £75!
This is incredible from work simply just donated by ex-students, what a great way to make sure no work goes to waste and showcase some of the fantastic art that come out of our department.
We would love our current students to think about donating even just one piece of their own work when they come to collect next year, it makes such a difference to us!
Thank you to these particular students whose work was sold (and well done!):
