Original Anonymous CARD ART APPEAL

July 2008

"Cerdlun" is a word we have coined to blend the Welsh ideas for "postcard" and "picture".
Cerdlun will be a large trumpeted exhibition/sale of original work, donated by artists, celebrities and well wishers from many countries. The pictures will be of A5 or postcard size, on a subject and in a medium of the artists’ choice—a painting, textile, drawing, cartoon, doodle or whatever.
Each piece is signed, dated and titled on the back only, encouraging buyers to use their skill, personal taste and judgement rather than a gallery label to guide their choice from, hopefully 1000 originals on display.
A list of contributing artists will be displayed and publicised in advance and a fresh selection of work received will be posted on this site monthly through April-August.
The first work will be offered for sale on Saturday evening the 26th of July 2008. A limited number of 200 tickets will be printed for the evening so the sooner you secure yours the better!. The sale will kick-off with a limited auction of a maximum 12 cards, just to set the mood. The entrance fee for the Saturday evening is £10. *
Each piece of work will sell at one price, £25.

* We will be showing and selling all donated work here at Oriel Plas Glyn Y Weddw, starting with a reception with wine, canapés and a limited auction on Saturday evening, 26 July 2008. No work will be removed until the 29 July, so that everyone has a chance to see the whole exhibition intact. Thereafter, any unsold work will be placed in the gallery shop for sale, with its provenance still protected until purchase. The gallery’s well-regarded, licensed tearoom will be open throughout, so that visitors can satisfy more than their artistic tastes!

A document, explaining the CERDLUN appeal in detail, in English or Welsh, can be sent to you as an email attachment, should you wish to contribute or attend in person.
