Pick Me Up 2011

Somerset House today announced an exciting line-up of artists, collectives and galleries for Pick Me Up, the UK’s first contemporary graphic art fair which will return to the Embankment Galleries for its second year running, from 17 – 27 March 2011.

This year’s Pick Me Up highlights will include an open studio with legendary designer Anthony Burrill, a selection of the best new talents in graphic design and illustration from across the world, and limited edition work from Print Club London and Rose Blake amongst many others.

The UK’s most original and cutting-edge graphic art collectives and galleries will take over the Embankment Galleries to create a world of their own where they will produce, exhibit and sell a wide range of affordable
artwork. Pick Me Up favourites Concrete Hermit, Evening Tweed, It’s Nice That, Nobrow, Nous Vous and Print Club London are back alongside exciting newcomers Ditto Press, Jaguar Shoes, Puck and ThemLot. This year’s highlights include Print Club London’s limited edition print by Rose Blake to be sold for £150. Blake, along with Mr. Bingo, Supermundane and over fifty other artists, will also take part in It’s Nice That’s drawing event where each day ten top illustrators will create drawings in under thirty minutes, later to be sold for £35.

See you there!
