<p><strong>Third Year <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/ba-hons-fine-art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BA (Hons) Fine Art</a> students will be holding an art fair, Limited Editions, during Plymouth College of Art’s open day on 23rd of March 2013, between 2pm and 5pm.</strong></p> <p>Students were tasked with producing saleable objects that not only reflected their existing contemporary arts practice, but also to make objects that will be attractive for a non-art audience.</p> <p>The main caveat of the project brief demanded that their objects be sold for no more than £25 creating the opportunity to own an original work of art by an emerging fine artist at a highly affordable price.</p> <p>Fine Art students have fully risen to the challenge, producing items ranging from limited edition prints, handmade books, DIY packs and wearable ‘art’.</p> <p><strong>Third year fine art lecturer and personal tutor Dr. Jane Jobling says:</strong></p> <p><em>“This project represents a real puzzle for the final year students: how do they distil nearly three years’ worth of disciplined study and creative practice into a single object that is available for sale at such relatively small amount of money?”</em></p> <p><strong>Third year fine art lecturer and personal tutor Neil Rose says:</strong></p> <p><em>“The group has fully engaged with this project and the resulting works for sale are highly decorative, collectable and really exciting. I would urge you to visit, it’s an opportunity to own a selection of really great and genuinely affordable artworks, a chance to buy unique gifts, and fill that empty frame or space on your wall.”</em></p> <p><strong>Third year Fine art student and Student Representative Kerry Jerwood-Ritchie adds:</strong></p> <p><em>“Following on from their personal studies, the students have been creating smaller pieces as a taster to show people that may be considering a degree in Fine Art, or any other degree at the college, the type of work that can be achieved.”</em></p> <p>The event will take place on Saturday the 23rd of March between 2pm and 5pm at Studio 11, Regent Street, Plymouth.</p>
