RIPE Live: Ripe Papayas #01 featured a showcase of new works by local and emerging artists, plus a live DJ set and drinks at the Alfred Arcade and the Alfred Arms.

Explore our latest RIPE exhibition at the Alfred Arcade, Ripe Papayas #01, the first in a two-part exhibition of outstanding work by a group of recent 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 will meet, exhibit and engage in critical debate; forming networks and friendships that will help them sustain a fruitful visual arts practice here in Southampton.
