STOCK is a collaborative exhibition at the OXO Bargehouse in London formed by soon to be graduates from Fine Art and Contemporary Arts Practice courses from Bath School of Art and Design.
Our fantastic fundraising team has already raised £650 over the past month, and all 46 artists have invested £200 towards the project.
We still need your help however! We're still in need of £4,700 to cover numerous expenses - such as transporting work from Bath to London, printing catalogues to commemorate the show and as souvenirs for visitors as well as providing an array of entertainment throughout the week.
