To help celebrate their 30th Anniversary Art Space is hosting an exhibition full of surprises. They've asked artists, designers, musicians, TV personalities and assorted creative types to make and donate an original postcard-sized artwork in their medium of choice. The artists' identity will remain secret until the point of purchase.
Emerging talent will be shown alongside established artists and media superstars giving art lovers and collectors the chance to purchase a hidden gem at the very reasonable flat rate of £20.
Contributors include Martin Parr, Wayne Hemingway, Sir Paul Smith and Richard Wilson. They've had entries from all over the world including the Ukraine, France, USA and the British Virgin Islands. Many submissions come from artists with international reputations, some of whom have played a significant role in the history of Art Space Portsmouth and Aspex Gallery.
Art Space Portsmouth is a charitable organisation providing much needed support for artists in the region. 28 of the 45 members rent studio space in a converted chapel and the group makes a significant cultural contribution to the city and beyond through exhibitions, workshops and public art projects.
