(6)RCA Secret is a great annual exhibition, at the Royal College of Art in London, that sees postcard-sized art go on show and up for sale by a range of professional artists, designers, illustrators and current postgraduate students at the Royal College of Art.
This is a fun and quirky show that sees the postcards displayed anonymously, but are signed on the reverse so that the creator is only revealed once a postcard has been purchased. The exhibition opens on Friday 12th November and runs through until Friday 19th, although please refer to the website for closures and times!
There are a whole host of great surprises amongst the postcards that some lucky people are going to end up with. Amongst the thousand or so artists that have submitted a postcard are Yinka Shonibare, John Baldessari, Olafur Eliasson, Tracey Emin and Grayson Perry. Fashion designer Sir Paul Smith and animator Nick Park are also amongst the contributers to be found at this years show.
The cards go on sale on a single day (Saturday 20th) and they cost £45 each. You have to have a collector number before you can purchase, which you can get off the RCA's website, but purchases do have to be made in person.
