Ever wondered what happens to the 14,000-odd artworks that aren’t selected for the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition? One of the options for a disappointed artist is to become part of the “Rejects” show celebrating those who tried and failed.
You will find everything from a portrait showing a woman punching Cupid to an award-winning loaf of bread. This eclectic show is curated by “Everyone’s Art Friend” aka Shona Bland. It takes place at Stokey Pop Up with late openings on 4th and 5th and continues until 14th July.
As with the RA Summer Exhibition, everything is for sale, also on show are some Art Friend regulars with prints and works for sale. Unlike the summer exhibition, there will be live screen printing and breathwork sessions as well as artist talks and yoga amongst the works.
