Returning to the spectacular Somerset House for another year in April 2016, graphic art festival Pick Me Up celebrates design, illustration, animation, 3D installations, ceramics and more. Part of UTOPIA 2016: A Year of Imagination and Possibility, this year the festival takes on a utopian theme and focuses on community within the graphic arts. With work by both established and emerging artists, the line-up includes a major retrospective on Alan Kitching, a type tool from London-based agency Hato, resident collectives, galleries and studios, and the chance to buy prints and original works by the graphic art stars of the future.
About Somerset House
Somerset House, once the site of a spectacular Tudor palace, now includes a magnificent 18th century art gallery housing celebrated collections belonging to the Courtauld Institute Gallery, as well as the Embankment Galleries (which replaced the Hermitage Rooms and The Gilbert Collection - the latter re-opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum in June 2009).
