Be featured in the first UAL Black creatives colouring book

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.

What you’ll get

• Your illustrations will be featured in the UAL Black Creatives colouring collection

• £100 fee per selected design (you can submit multiple designs)

• 2 copies of the final product

• Black culture and identity

• Black lived experiences

Design brief:
