Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is collaborating with The Lucy Rayner Foundation for the 2025 Art Takeover to curate a community art exhibition hosted by the Belfry Shopping Centre, Redhill. We are inviting young artists, aged 25 and under, to submit their work for "This is Me", a community art exhibition celebrating identity, self-expression, and the things we love. Whether you're a student, part of a local youth or community group, 
or an independent artist, we want to see your story on canvas.
