About the auction
Final year students from Fine Art and Contemporary Photographic Practice will be holding their annual auction of original artworks on Wednesday 3rd December, at the Venue, Student Union Building, Northumbria University.
The auction is open to all and is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a unique art work before these budding artists are discovered by the outside world. Many of our graduating students have gone on to establish themselves professionally in the region, as well as nationally and internationally. Will you be able to spot the stars of the future?
Work by final year students, staff and invited artists that will be going under the hammer will include drawings, paintings, photographs, prints and sculpture. If you have got an Athena print hanging on your wall this is your chance to replace it with a real piece of art at probably a very similar cost. All your Christmas present dilemmas could be solved.
Work can be previewed at leisure on 27th and 28th November in Gallery North PS, Ground Floor, Squires Annexe. As well as viewing all the work prior to the auction, you will also be able to submit a sealed bid if you spot something you really like.
Bidding on the night will commence promptly at 6:30pm on 3rd December. I hope you will be able to join us for what is always a very exciting evening.
All proceeds will go towards supporting the Degree Shows in June.
