The annual online exhibition is back! 

After a three-year hiatus, Supporting the Arts returns. Founded by artist Bobby Forsythe, STA began as a curated Instagram exhibition designed to support UK artists during the challenges of the pandemic.

Forsythe’s vision was to build an online community where creatives could connect and uplift one another.

Following the break, she has expanded the team, welcoming photographer Connor Barford and filmmaker Brad Geller.

This will be an exhibition hosted on the STA Instagram page as well as a permanent feature on the official STA website.
