The makers and designers and artists of the Art Workers’ Guild have come up with a new twist on the secret postcard auction – three-dimensional postcards. Expanding the postcard sale to include 3D works of art means an opportunity to buy artworks by some of the most highly skilled craftspeople today.
Each ‘postcard’ (6″ x 4″ x 3″) will be anonymous, with the maker only being revealed after the sale: this gives each purchase an element of mystery and allows the possibility of buying works by renowned artists from as little as £50.
Online bidding is now open and will continue until 5pm on December 10th. Postcards will then be exhibited to view in person on Friday 11th December, culminating in a silent auction at 7pm. Results will be announced the following morning.
This auction is part of the AWG’s ongoing fundraising for the new courtyard project, which will transform the central courtyard of the building. It is the first fundraising event for Phase II, the installation of a glass roof and creation of a new exhibition space, and follows the success of Phase I for the introduction of wheelchair access.
To make a bid, please email the Guild Secretary at monica@artworkersguild.org with your name, address, telephone number and offer.
