Ripe Coconuts #01 is the first in a two-part exhibition of outstanding work by a group of 2025 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 have the opportunity to meet, exhibit work and engage in critical debates; allowing them to form networks and friendships to help them sustain a fruitful visual arts practice.

The launch event is on Friday 8th August at the Alfred Arcade on Old Northam Road, where visitors will have the opportunity to meet the Ripe Coconuts, discover more about their practice and see their work installed in this unique exhibition space.

Launch Event: Friday 8th August, 6pm – 10pm
