GINGER CACTUS ART

Ginger Cactus Art (GCA) was founded in 2020 by Surrey artist Alison G Saunders, whose initial goal was to create a virtual exhibition space where she and fellow artists could continue showing their work during the chaos of the Covid-19 lockdowns. With amazing support from her son Edward, Alison created a website and social media accounts so that exhibiting online became a practical alternative.

Three years on, the group currently has 16 members based in England, Scotland and Hungary with one from California and another from Switzerland looking to join later this year.

GCA normally holds two shows a year at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking and in June Alison hosts the group at her home as part of the annual Surrey Artists Open Studios (SAOS) event. Special online exhibitions are in the pipeline and whilst GCA comes together to exhibit as a group, members also take part in a number of shows as individual artists.

However, the group is always looking for new venues and different ways to get their work seen. If you would like to find out more about GCA, when and where their next exhibition will be or if you would like to be considered for membership of the group then please do get in touch via their website: www.gingercactusart.com
