Wake me up when September comes

  

A definite date and some definite information from the colleges site   The dates are confirmed for 9th September to the 15th September with the unpopular collection day back on the 16th September. 

The sale will apparently commence on 9th September, the same day the exhibition opens.

The venue has moved back to battersea, presumably to avoid a clash with the last night of the proms at the Albert hall.  A pleasingly no price increase this years, the cards will be £55 each.  

Here is the info:

Stewarts RCA Secret 2017

9 September 2017 to 15 September 2017 | Exhibition & sales 9–15 September, opening times tbc. Collection day: Saturday 16 September

Battersea, Dyson Building


RCA Secret will return to the Royal College of Art in September 2017. The RCA's annual fundraising postcard sale will feature over 2,000 postcard-sized drawings, collages, photographs and sculptures by some of the world’s most celebrated artists and designers, as well as by promising students from the College.

RCA Secret attracts high-profile art collectors and passionate art lovers. Each of the postcards on display is sold anonymously for £55, with the identity of the maker revealed only when the purchase is complete. All profits from the sale go towards the RCA Student Award Fund, which helps emerging artists at a formative stage in their careers by funding scholarships to the College.

Stewarts Law LLP is proud to sponsor the RCA Secret Exhibition. Stewarts Law is one of the UK's leading litigation law firms. They have built a strong reputation for innovative and ground breaking dispute practice. www.stewartslaw.com

Great to have the dates and to say I am looking forward to September is well, a massive understatement. Not sure how the start of the exhibition and start of the sale on the same day is going to work (??!!?) but I am trusting that the college has worked out a careful plan. 28 weeks to go!

Ummm, what?! So no chance to actually view the cards in person before the sale? Or am I reading the website wrong? I'm not keen on that to be honest, some of my favourites have been ones which don't necessarily come across well on screen.

Camping outside now banned too? Presumably it won't stop people queuing though. Think I might be giving it a miss this year.
