Blank Canvas at Carnaby Street

Featuring the work of major celebrities alongside up and coming young artists, the exhibition Blank Canvas at Carnaby Street showcases fashion, art, music and photography over a week long show. With contributions from the likes of Annie Lennox, Rankin, Marc Quinn and Levi Palmer, Blank Canvas at Carnaby Street is a fascinating exhibition of young and talented artists showing their work along with the stars.

Young artists from around London have been asked to contribute their artwork to the Blank Canvas exhibition that is showing on the legendary Carnaby Street. Showcasing their pieces to a keen art loving audience in London, they will get attention from all kinds of art buyers and collectors, and could end up with some seriously influential contacts.

In amongst the fresh new work from aspiring artists will be a collection of works from celebrities who attended a life drawing session at Blank Canvas at Carnaby Street. These new life drawings will be added to the exhibition, and will visitors to the exhibition to get a glimpse into the artistic freehand style of the likes of sculptor Marc Quinn and fashion designer Levi Palmer. A collective piece of art created by the public is also included in the exhibition, which was created during the launch night.

Not only will you be able to see artwork by these famous artists, but you will also be able to buy them too.

Musical entertainment will also keep the creative side of things up, with live performances and open mic nights every evening of the exhibition.
