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, theAlfred 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.

We’re hosting Artist-Led Tours across the weekend (Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th August). These free, guided sessions offer an opportunity to hear directly from the artists as they walk you through their work, sharing insights into their process, themes, and ideas.
