Blank Canvas is an ambitious event organised by us, the students on the BA (hons) Design for Moving Image Design and Graphic Design courses at Ravensbourne College to raise funds for our graduation show.

Rather than the usual cake sale or student union party, we decided to do something a little bit more exciting this year. We will be sending our favourite designers and illustrators packages containing random items (which could be anything from an old teapot, to a skateboard, to a vintage suitcase). They will then be asked to customise these items in any way they see fit. These masterpieces will then be collected and put in a silent auction on the 30th of April at the Vibe Bar on Brick Lane.

It is going to be a fantastic evening and if you are interested in getting your hands on a one-off designer item, then please email us at info@blankcanvasevent.co.uk to request your attendance. Space is limited and there will be a guestlist.

As a thank you to the designers who participate we will be donating a percentage of the proceeds to ‘Artists in Residence’, an initiative run by the Whitechapel Gallery which places artists in schools on one year residencies.

Keep checking the ‘Participants’ section as we update the list of those taking part in Blank Canvas.

7PM - 11.30PM, Vibe Live
