[12 October]

Hello again

Thanks to everyone on the forum who replied and has helped out along the way. The show opens on 12 October with a couple of events.

10am-4pm - The Big Draw - Draw Tomorrow
Part of the national Big Draw campaign, it's the first chance to see the exhibition and take part in creative activities themed around future worlds and comics. Whilst the day is aimed at families, anyone is welcome to take part.

7pm - 11pm - The Big Quiz - Evening of Celebration
Join us for a special screening of the fan film Judge Minty with an introduction from director Steven Sterlacchini.
We'll also have two quizzes;
Masterbrain will see experts in their chosen subjects of 2000AD, Doctor Who and Stars Wars battling it out to win first prize.
There will also be quiz sheets available on the night for all attendees, with a chance to win your own custom Judge badge from Planet Replicas and a selection of other prizes.
Interplanetary Division Cosplay DJ's will soundtrack the evening and there will be a licensed bar.

Hello, thanks for the welcome.

I've put an outline of what I'd like to borrow for the show in the event section and maybe commission some new work, but it would be really useful to hear what other people would like to see.

I want the exhibition to hold enough interest for the hardcore fans, but also provide an introduction for the uninitiated.

And I really could do with some help with a title before our next exhibition and event brochure goes to print!

I'm currently putting together a Judge Dredd related art show at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre in Scunthorpe.

So far I have some original pages but would be really interested to hear from anyone who collects original Dredd artwork and would be interested in loaning it for the exhibition.

We will also be showing Judge Minty and having items related to the production.

If anyone has any other artefacts then I would love to hear from you. I'm especially interested in hearing from any creators or artists/designers/makers who were inspired by the storylines.

-Everything is insured whilst in our care and we can arrange collection/return.
-We can frame the work and have a lot of experience in handling and looking after art
work and works on paper
-Galleries are invigilated and covered by CCTV.

If you can help then send me a message here and I can email you back.

Lots more details to follow but we will also run a comic related event to tie-in with October's Big Draw and an after hours evening event for the exhibition.

Oh and we don't have a proper title for the exhibition yet 

Here's our webite: http:www.northlincs.gov.uk/20-21
Also on Facebook and @2021visualarts on Twitter.

If the picking of brains is OK with you guys?

I'm working on putting together an exhibition on Judge Dredd for October this year at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, but I shall post a thread in the events section with details. 

Anyway hello all, and I'm new to this whole forum lark so please be gentle!
