If you’re an owner of vinyl albums, try and put some time aside this weekend (it’s a long one after all) to dig through and find your favourite album cover.
Not only will you have the joy of listening to some of your most-loved music on vinyl whilst doing it, but your favourite cover can then be included in an exhibition at Ventnor Exchange for Record Store Day (23rd April).
Describe why you love it
All you need to do is include a small description of why you love that particular album/cover artwork, and then drop that (not forgetting the cover) off to Ventnor Exchange, High Street, Ventnor from Tuesday 19th April or contact [email protected] to arrange a pick-up.
Art Vinyl frames
The albums will be displayed in specially-created Art Vinyl frames in the gallery space at the Exchange and we reckon it’ll not only look amazing against the blue walls, but the variety will be fascinating to see once all assembled.
Create your own covers
For the more creative types, you can also submit your own original artwork inspired by your favourite album.
These will be displayed on another wall in the gallery. Make sure you work to the same dimensions as albums (31.43cm squared) so they fit in the frames.
Covers carefully cherished
Our friends over at Ventnor Exchange say all the album covers will be carefully cherished and returned once the exhibition is over.
Well done to Tony Collins for organising the exhibition.
Record Store Day
Record Store Day takes place at Ventnor Exchange on Saturday 23rd April.
More details coming soon, but there’ll be plenty to see and do throughout the day, as well as all the exciting special releases.
