Pick Me Up Contemporary Graphic Art Festival
Thursday 25th April 2013 | ARIANE
This is the fourth year for the UK's first contemporary graphic arts festival after a successful launch in April 2010. The most innovative graphic artists, collectives and galleries in the country and from across the world will be on display at Pick Me Up offering an exuberant mix of artworks for sale to the public.
In addition to showcasing and selling original artworks and limited-edition prints from the industry’s elite and emerging talent, each day the festival is running an exciting and eclectic mix of quirky family workshops, lively evening events and creative forums. Some of the artists contributing to this year’s programme include Guardian regulars Modern Toss and the award-winning animation studio Aardman, who are hosting a Shaun the Sheep model-making workshop.
New for 2013 are Shaun the Sheep model-making workshops with award-winning animation studio Aardman, comedy cartoonists Modern Toss and a pop-up nail art bar. The spectacular Somerset House is once again host for this excellent opportunity to discover the latest talents in the graphic art scene and purchase prints from as little as £10.
