REGENERATE delivered an exciting body of work by emerging and established artists that truly reflects the diverse range and talent of our thriving  Blue Monkey artist network.  The exhibition included sculpture, painting, illustration, drawing, ceramics, animation, collage, and more, inspired by and made from re-purposed materials, revealing the distinctive art practices of our members. 

​

This was the first exhibition by the network and was the result of an Open Call where members were asked to submit works that were primarily made with repurposed paper or card; where the materials originally had a different purpose, such as a box from packaging.  We specifically asked artists not to just use their spare art materials and not to use plastic.  All works submitted for the Open Call were included in an online exhibition, which ran in conjunction with the show on this website.  The VOLT exhibition was held in July and included a selection of these works, with at least one from each artist, chosen by VOLT curator Polly Wright.

​

Below is a selection of some of the wonderfully diverse range of artworks that were on show during the VOLT gallery exhibition.
