Ripe Coconuts #02

Ripe Coconuts #02 was the second instalment 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 provided an opportunity for a group of emerging artists to exhibit a recent body of work in a new space, the Alfred Arcade. The artists met, exhibited and engaged in critical debates; forming networks and friendships to help them to sustain a fruitful visual arts practice.

The launch event was on Friday 19th September at the Alfred Arcade on Old Northam Road, where visitors had the opportunity to meet the Ripe Coconuts, discover more about their practice and see their work installed in this unique exhibition space.
