The Rapture Experience
Rapture is a circle of artists, curators, writers and creatives collaborating on projects, from grassroots to international locations. We have a legacy of energised initiatives that reimagine art experience and determine a more appropriate and vital ecosystem for contemporary art.
Rapture is passionate about offering you the opportunity to experience art afresh in vivid life-affirming encounters with informed relationships. Rooted in generosity, our ethos values the reciprocal relationship between artist and audience, and believe that this positivity cultivates artistic brilliance.
Rapture selects evocative venues specific to each nomadic project. From exuberance to solace, from the monumental to the intimate, our curated exhibitions
use sound, light, colour, and scent to enhance mesmeric experience. Our socially dynamic events draw on performance, music, and food to invite participation, positivity and generosity.
Good Art v Bad Art
You can be confident that all art that you encounter through Rapture has been endorsed via our stringent discernment process. We only represent artists based on their artistic integrity, commitment and engagement with art itself. As artists with decades of combined experience immersed in art, we value art that is critically robust, enlivening, and contributes meaningfully to the wider discourse.
Art is always for sale
Rapture represents an alternative forum to commercial galleries and art fair models, and we are proud that giving a platform to authentic art is our founding principle. Alongside this, our ethos includes generosity and a desire to generate a sustainable income for our artists. The art that you encounter at our events is always for sale, and the selected pieces available through our showroom are exclusive to Rapture. We welcome expressions of interest in any of our artworks and we will happily explore these further with you, without obligation. Please email contact@rapture-live.co.uk in the first instance.
