Two Pence Blue

You are warmly invited to Two Pence Blue, the 2026 Degree Show from the Reading School Of Art, presenting the work of our final-year students.

This exhibition marks the culmination of their studies, bringing together a wide range of practices across painting, sculpture, installation, video, performance, and digital work.

Private View

Friday 29 May | 4 – 8 pm

Join us for an evening of exhibitions, performances, music, prize announcements, and speeches.

Experience performances posed as still life, glitzy anime videos, and delicate paintings. Encounter blown-up toys in nightmarish scenarios, computer games mapping a childhood home, and layered projections of family archives where figures drift, glitch, and dance between past and present. Paintings that slip between figuration and abstraction and unruly installations that refuse to behave. 

Exhibition dates

Tuesday 2nd - Sunday 7th June, 11am to 4pm + Saturday 13th & 14th June, 11am to 6pm

Please note: Some artworks may contain themes or imagery that some viewers may find challenging. Parental guidance is advised for younger visitors.

There is no need to book for these free events, attendees can turn up on the day. 

We look forward to welcoming you!
