One week on from the opening of Mixtape No.4 our Spring Season of online exhibitions goes on with a solo show from Melike. Melike is a rather exciting painter, a rather pro-active mixed media artist, born in Samsun, Turkey, in 1980, an artist now firmly based in Istanbul. We’ve been aware of Melike and her…

The full line up of Mixtape No.4 is now all together, the artists have been herded and we’re ready to “hang” the show, the second of three Mixtape group shows for this Spring Season will open on Tuesday day evening, Tuesday March 14th. Once again hosted on Cultivate’s sister website and home of Organ magazine,…
The 13 Questions thing again, the artist who likes to be known as Edgington this time. Edgington (b.1991) is a Midlands of England artist making “largely autobiographical works exploring mental illness, trauma and memory”. Born and raised in Rugby, Edgington now lives and works in Digbeth, Birmingham. Really don’t want to say too much here,..…

Is that a hint of Spring and a whole load of sunshine coming in to the Studio? As you probably know by now, we’ve embarked on a Spring Season of Cultivate on-line exhibitions. We kicked off last Tuesday with the opening of Mixtape No.3, a rather busy 36 artist group show (once again hosted here…
. In view of the current situation in Turkey and the horrors still unfolding as a result of the recent earthquakes in both Turkey and Syria, after consultation with Melike, we have decided the respectful thing would be to postpone next week’s opening of her solo show until March 21st. Melike is a Turkish artist…
. Let’s Create! The seventh Three x Three exhibition and the second show of this busy Spring Season opens on Tuesday, hot on the heals of the latest Mixtape show and just as we start to feel the tips of our fingers once again here in the studio. The first Three x Three show of…
That painting that Emma Harvey has in the latest Mixtape exhibition is one of a recent number of relatively larger canvas pieces she has been quietly working on as 2023 kicks in, here’s a shot of it in her studio. i rather like this latest development. Personally I don’t think you can appreciate the size…
The third Mixtape exhibition is now open, the first of our Spring Season of online shows. A group show featuring 36 artists, some familiar to Cultivate followers, some new to these shores. Here’s a flavour, the show can be viewed over on the Organ website via this link . We’ll explore some of the artists…
. February is here, is that a tiny bit of a hint of Spring in the air? We’re ready to go with our much trumpeted Spring series of on-line Cultivate shows, our Spring season, time to bypass the gatekeepers and the tedious art school chips once more. Let’s Create as the slogan goes, walking it…
Melike is based in Istanbul, Turkey (originally born in Samsun in 1980), if I remember correctly, another artist told her about Cultivate and she got in touch, or was it us who made first contact with her having seen something on a social media feed? I really can’t remember now, I do know she has…
The open call element of our next Cultivate group show, Mixtape No.3, is very very much open at the moment. We do like open calls and we are very vocal about the open call policy and especially in terms of the cynical practice of charging and exploiting artists in terms of so called administration fees…
Spent the morning going through all the submissions so far from the next Mixtape show (well the one’s we hadn’t already responded to), had some good art in from a painter based in Cambridge today, and from an artist working in Brazil, I do keep saying we like the way this on-line shows take us…
We’re off and running, new year, more activity, more looking beyond the London bubble, more shows, more on-line exhibitions for we like the way our on-line shows reach out around the land and the globe to artists like Melike over in Turkey, or Sarah Jones over in Worcestershire or that artist from Manchester or Shrewsbury…
