Those That Work - Those That Play - Those That Create
Raggedy Man is an independent contemporary artistic and creative movement based in
Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
We seek to reinvigorate and subvert pre-conceived ways in which art is considered and produced and exhibited. We seek to amplify the artistic efforts of all Raggedy persons through one collaborative window.
We aim to show case and also work in close and long-term collaboration with a distinct group of artists who, through different creative practices, share a fondness for candid social criticism and an amateur, sincere, yet playful approach to the serious process of making art.
​
The Raggedy Man Press sets out to prove that more worthwhile practices such as the creation of something, regardless of medium, leads to a happier and
more fulfilling existence.
It owes much to a spirit of collaboration, confrontation and an experience that is more dependent on the enjoyment of creation rather pandering to either popularist opinion or established ideals of what constitutes “Art”.
