This event is part of RIPE, led by ‘a space’ arts in partnership with Solent University and Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. The programme supports graduate artists in the city to exhibit and engage in artistic exchange and experimentation, forming networks and friendships that will help them sustain a fruitful visual arts practice.
