ABOUT US
Artists Supporting Artists
Inclusive, joyful and uplifting exhibitions for all
A unique, uplifting experience for visitors​
It is our aim to provide inclusive, joyful and uplifting exhibitions for visitors. Run by artists for artists, our events also provide a unique opportunity to meet the artists themselves in a friendly, informal setting. There are opportunities to signup for artists' workshops and watch live demonstrations.
​
Supporting local artists
Our ethos at Under The Rainbow Events is to support South East creatives by providing a platform to showcase their talent at leading shopping & leisure destinations. We aim to provide exposure for emerging artists that otherwise find it difficult to exhibit without the necessary experience.
​
Showcasing art in the Community
It's important to us to collaborate with and showcase local community art initiatives. We enjoy promoting the creative talent from the younger generation, by displaying artwork from primary and secondary schools that are local to our venues. We also collaborate with local charities as well as with art facilitators within Her Majesty’s Prison Service. This enables us to show visitors the healing power of art and its use as a rehabilitation tool.
​
Following the huge success of our first Exhibition back in Autumn 2021 we continue to expand our portfolio of events to support a wider base of artists in the South East of England.
Meet the Support Team
Our support team are all exhibiting artists themselves and are here to help exhibitors and visitors and to ensure the smooth running of our exhibitions.

Meet the Founders​
Founded by Ewa Page and co-founded by Alison Ridley, Under The Rainbow began in 2021. As artists themselves, Ewa and Alison have jointly managed these incredible events, driven by their shared passion for providing an inclusive platform that celebrates the artwork of creatives from across the South East.
Their mission is to offer opportunities for all artists — including newly emerging talents — to exhibit their work in popular leisure destinations, making art more accessible to the wider community.
Ewa Page took a short step back during the first part of UTR 9 due to work commitments but remained actively involved throughout. She is now fully back on board and excited to continue working alongside Alison on future exhibitions.
