C-Art - Contemporary Vision 20 X 20

Last week the local museum in Carlisle, Tullie House, visited the studio to commission some programs and posters for a lecture centered around a current exhibition from C-Art, featuring the art of Cumbrian artists and craftspeople. 
C-Art supports and connects artists working and living in Cumbria, hosting open studios gallery openings and special events.

Contemporary Vision 20 X 20.
Thursday 7th February.











I really loved working on this brief even if I didn't enjoy cutting and folding 200 copies of it. The colours reflect those used by C-Art and while the logo is slightly cliché and massively overused the idea of 20 X 20 vision makes it effective and it looks super pretty on photos so there! :)
