Red Herring Artists
Red Herring is an artist's collective based in Brighton England. Founded as a non-profit making company in 1984 the group was set up to provide affordable Studio space for artists with the common stated aim of increasing public awareness of the visual arts, both locally, nationally and further afield. In keeping with its aims the group has always sought to achieve a balance of varied practises across the arts and crafts, and a balance of gender.
Since its inception Red Herring has supported the professional practise of hundreds of artists and produced numerous artistic collaborations and projects. Individual Red Herring artists have produced work both nationally and throughout Europe and as far afield as the former Soviet Union and the Americas.

“Thou art not fair, for all thy red and white,
For all those rosy ornaments in thee.
Thou art not sweet, though made of mere delight”

“The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
