NOT THE RA!

12th - 25th July 2024, 10am - 4pm
@ Beach Creative

Beach Creative thought they’d have a bit of fun, and have their own Summer Show. It was suggested that people could enter our own RA rejections, which would be perfectly acceptable! 

How do we decide what is 'good' art? Whose opinions matter the most? Why do we strive to create in the first place? The Beach Creative summer open show plays on themes of judgement and rejection, encouraging artists to put their 'best' works forward, especially ones that have faced rejection from prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts.

I am thrilled to announce that my Herne Bay Clock Tower collage from my early Herne Bay Series is being featured in the exhibition alongside paintings by my lovely friend Jeremy Keeping @oldtreeart21.

In this image carousel is a photo of me at the private view, captured by the talented Spencer Alden @erikodinson66.
