Friday, 18 November 2011 - Saturday, 26 November 2011

Royal College of Art, Kensington Gore, Chelsea, SW7 2EU

Exhibitions: , Art, Gallery, Drawing

How Much: Free!

Whoever came up with this idea really does deserve some praise. Even though the RCA Secret exhibition and sale has now been going 17 years, it still strikes us as a brilliant idea.

A load of contemporary artists produce postcard-sized works of art and you can go along and buy one for only £45. The brilliance is that you don't know who's done which work, so you could be picking up a piece by a virtual nobody or, if your lucky, a major name in the contemporary art world. (This year, contributors include Tracey Emin, Grayson Perry and Anish Kapoor.)

Plus, all the proceeds go to the RCA Fine Art Student Award Fund. So that's good too.

Until 25.11.11.
Sale day: 26.11.11.
