ABOUT THE FREE PAINTERS AND SCULPTORS
FPS is an established artist-led organisation that promotes and exhibits a talented membership of Painters, Sculptors, Printmakers and Photographers at renowned galleries in London and the South East. We also now offer our Monthly Artist Exchange sessions. These monthly Zoom based sessions support our collective of exciting artists to share practice updates as well as having an opportunity to present our work in an inclusive and supportive environment.​
Established in 1952, FPS was originally associated with the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts). Founding members featured many high profile and influential artists, including Roy Rasmussen, Lyall Watson and Maurice Jadot who all feature in the permanent Tate Collection.
FPS originally came to prominence by playing a significant part in the establishment of abstract art in the 1950's and 60's and were the first of a number of post war movements that freed artists from the orthodoxy of rigid and purely technical judgements. This ethos continues today and we welcome applications from talented artists at all stages of their career.
