Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths
This piece of text is a quote from the contemporary mythologist, Joseph Campbell who believed that if myths are to sustain their vital functions in the world today, they have to continually transform and evolve to address the realities of contemporary life. Drawing on dreams, the unconscious and intuition, the exhibition explores how art reflects the changing world around us.
Cost: No submission fee. £10.00 if work accepted. 10% commission on sales.
We are continuing our education work with local schools, organizing visits so that pupils can meet the artists, be inspired and enhance their curriculum studies, further raising our profile with parents and in the community. See the end of this note for how to get involved.

Meet the Selectors:

hospital school and as an art tutor in Brixton Prison. After a
period of teaching art in secondary schools she became Head of
Creative Arts at The Charter School in Dulwich. Sophie is now

Beatty Hallas
Beatty set up Flourish in 2006 to showcase the creative output of
care-experienced young people from around the UK. Artists may
be looked after by carers, be fostered or adopted, in secure
accommodation or have special needs. Flourish holds a new
exhibition each year and celebrates talent and hopes to
encourage confidence and skills toward creative careers. Flourish
invites its artists to speak about the project at events and with the
press, be involved with running exhibitions and inform the future
of the initiative.
Beatty is also a practicing artist, interested in goodwill and
purposeful optimism.
