Join us for RIPE Live as we celebrate RIPE artists past and present, and launch the first of our two-part graduate showcase.
Explore our latest RIPE exhibition at the Alfred Arcade, Ripe Plums #01, the first in a two-part exhibition of outstanding work by a group of recent graduates from Solent University and Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton.
The project provides an opportunity for a group of emerging artists to exhibit a recent body of work in a new space, the Alfred Arcade. The artists will meet, exhibit and engage in critical debate; forming networks and friendships that will help them sustain a fruitful visual arts practice here in Southampton.
You can also visit RIPE alumni and painter Megan Georgia Smith’s newly opened exhibition BY THE SKIN OF YOUR TEETH! which explores the major themes of young people, the rising use of e-scooters in the city, and the problems this ensues, through vibrant and eccentric painted depictions.
The Alfred Arms will be open throughout the evening, where we’ll be serving drinks and playing some bangers.
Ripe Plums #01 will also be on display at the Alfred Arcade throughout the weekend of Friday 29th – Sunday 31st July and is free to visit.
