The A4 Draw: 2010

Friday, 12 March 2010

It's all over!

Well, it's all over! The A4 Draw prize draw took place at the RK Burt gallery yesterday, where the lucky winners were picked at random. The winning ticket numbers have been listed next to the pieces below - congratulations if you won! We'll be getting the prizes in the post on Monday.

All of us students from South Essex College would like to say a couple of massive Thank Yous. Firstly to all our contributors, as without them The A4 Draw would not have been possible! We really appreciate your generosity, and we ended up with such a wonderful mix of pieces up for grabs.

Secondly we'd like to thank every one of you who bought a ticket. We've been so, so pleased with the reaction The A4 Draw received, and every ticket bought has helped us to raise some much-needed money to fund our graduate exhibitions this summer.

Thank you all for your support - it's been fun!

(And if you want to keep up to date with the future happenings of us 3rd year BA (Hons) Graphic Design students, see our blog: One & A Dozen.)

The exhibition

Today we've been setting up the gallery space for the exhibition which starts this Friday!

All pieces contributed to The A4 Draw are on display, along side work produced by us BA (Hons) Graphic Design students from South Essex College. It's going to be a great way to celebrate The A4 Draw project, which was set up to raise money to fund our graduate shows this summer.

On the final day of the exhibition (Friday 12th March) we will draw the A4 Draw winners at random and find out which lucky people have won the artworks! Tickets are on sale until then, from the Folksy shop, and at the galler y.

The A4 Draw

WELCOME TO THE A4 DRAW

The A4 Draw gives you the chance to win an A4 piece of work by established artists, designers and illustrators, as well as graphic design students from South Essex College.

Tickets can be bought for £4 from our Folksy shop, and winners will be drawn at random in early March.

As a BA (Hons) Graphic Design group, The A4 Draw aims to raise funs for our graduate exhibitions this summer, at the South Essex College graduate show, New Designers and D&AD New Blood. We see this not only as an opportunity to raise money and promote our own work, but to celebrate the work of those who inspire us.

A big thank you to all our contributors and to everyone who buys a ticket. Thanks for your support, and good luck!
