March 2012

Currently on at  Pallant House Chichester.

The seated man watching the Musicians at Marrakesh is – at least in the mind of Keith Vaughan – the artist himself looking on and listening in. The massive back, bottle-top head and wayward limbs are grey and lumpen. The musicians, by contrast, are glowing, creamy and luminous: the ochre drum, a radiant little sun, the cross-legged player as neat and focused as his observer is awkward.

“You are a photographer, where is your camera?!” Was my brothers reaction to me being camera less today, but in fact I quite like it.

Our annual submissions are now open. We are looking to represent top emerging artists. Whether you are an exceptional graduate or an older artist who is looking to get their work exhibited and the chance to be sold at art fairs, we can help you. The Art Collective Ltd represents exceptional emerging artists and collaborates with companies, charities and communities to enable more people to become engaged with art. 

Since launching back in 2011 we have quickly gained a reputation for hosting excellent quality exhibitions and giving artists the chance to breakthrough.

We provide guidance & assistance to artists, and promote both artists and art through our website, art publications, press coverage, exhibitions and selected art fairs. We also assist with the publishing of your work.

Applying is free and simple. In the first instance email us images of your work or send a pdf portfolio, a brief artist c.v and any additional relevant information. Email: info@theartcollective.com

The Art Collective will be at Gallery 40, 40 Gloucester Road in Brighton, 5th-22nd April. A selection of modern and contemporary art from our portfolio will be on show including paintings, photography and illustration. The exhibit will introduce new photographer Celine Marchbank, it will include a special range of signed and mounted first edition prints, and for the first time in the UK we will be exhibiting some of Lance Hewison's oil on canvas paintings. Sign up to receive an invite to the late opening on Sat 7th April.
