A big thanks to Carhartt, Club Violate and Red Bull for all their support.

We opened an amazing show on the 7th December 2007. We managed to bring 5 artists and designers to Glasgow at the top of their game. We had illustrators from London, Hellovon and David Bray, we had Australian graphic artist, Innocentgirl, we had graffiti artist Rosyone and Scottish landscape artist Anna King. It was a belter.

For our third show we exhibited as many artists and designers as we could, we asked them all to make work that would sell for £40 and under. We had work from Bernie Reid, Amy Whiten, REKUR, ROGUE, Lachlan Rattray, ACORN, Gregor Louden and loads of other amazing artists. The exhibition recieved a great reaction from buyers, viewers and the press, it was covered in the Scotsman, the Herald, the Big Issue, the Metro, he List, and the Evening Times. It opened on the 28th of September 2007, kindly sponsored by anCnoc Whisky again.
