OUR PROJECT:
We are the first graduating class from the new Masters of Fine Arts program at Wimbledon College of Art, and we are raising funds for our final degree show. The exhibition is the culmination of 2 years of hard work, research and experimentation. Our class is a dynamic group of 38 painters, sculptors, digital and multi-media artists from over 20 different nationalities. We look forward to seeing you at the private view on opening night, July 3, 2014.
WHY DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?
Part of our course curriculum includes learning how to organize a large art exhibition. We are responsible for all aspects of the degree show, including the fundraising. The administrative skills that we are learning will help us to sustain our art practices in the professional world, and our personal investment in the exhibition ensures that it will be a unique and meaningful event.
We are hoping to raise at least 3,000 pounds to pay for marketing, publications, materials, and the general costs of putting on an exhibition.
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
We welcome donations of any amount. Additionally, you can support us by clicking the “I want to help button” if you are happy to share our project on your social media sites.

YOU WILL GET PRIZES!!!
Each one of you who supports us in any amount is invited to the private view, but you will also receive a very special gift: you will become part of an art piece in the exhibition! We will send more details about this project after we have raised our funds. For those who decide to give 15 pounds or more, we have other exciting prizes ranging from original artworks to limited edition, screenprint T-shirts. This could be your chance to score an original art piece from the next Picasso! Who knows, it might be worth millions one day!
