Showcase your illustrations & get £100 per design selected

This year, UAL’s Black Creatives Hub is partnering with not just a shop to offer students and recent graduates the chance to have their illustrations featured in the first-ever UAL Black Creatives adult colouring collection.

Launching this October to mark Black History Month, the collection will be sold online and in-store at not just a shop, a curated retail space run by UAL that showcases products and creative work made by students and graduates.

This is a great opportunity to see your work professionally produced and shared with a wider audience, while contributing to an initiative supporting Black creatives. Proceeds from the collection will be reinvested to further develop the Black Creatives Hub.
