The Revolutionary Arts Group

About the Revolutionary Arts Group | What People Say | Contact RAG

The Revolutionary Arts Group is a think-and-do organisation based in Sussex. It often acts as a creative alchemist bringing together artists, makers and thinkers with local authorities, community groups and other arts organisations.

The group make all sorts of things for all sorts of audiences, from big festivals to intimate 'kitchen table' networking events.

Since 2001, the Revolutionary Arts Group have organised artists' open houses; painted giant murals with young people; exhibited work by hundreds of artists in galleries, arts centres, empty shops and churches; published a poetry anthology; used environmentally-friendly paint to produce a massive panorama in an eco-centre; managed community arts festivals; and sent artists and poets back to school to inspire children.

Some projects happens regularly, some happen when enough people come together, and some projects pop-up once and are never seen again. Some projects are in traditional arts venues, some are outside them in empty shops, public spaces or in the open air.  Some projects are big and visible, but some happen below the radar.

Underlying all the activity is a commitment to supporting early-career, emerging and semi-professional creative people as they develop their lives, skills and careers.

By making things and supporting others, the Revolutionary Arts Group gives people a chance to experience, enjoy and understand the contemporary arts.
