From Floor to Sky
This significant exhibition, curated by Peter Kardia, of contemporary British sculpture opened 5 March 2010 at the P3 Galleries. "From Floor to Sky" brings together 28 artists, all graduates of the RCA and St Martins, whose radical and political approaches shifted the practice of sculpture away from the established forms or subject matters.

Meeting up with the Prizewinners
One of the activities that has become central to the Society is the annual 'Artbook prize' run in collaboration with Thames & Hudson Publishers. The process of selecting the prize winners is a great opportunity for members to engage with the work of "new" graduates as well as introduce "old" graduates and the Society to a new generation of artists and designers.
