Rachel Johnson | Choreographer & Film Artist Helen Acklam Afterwards 1 ARTIST OPPORTUNITY: Pure Arts Group Call For Entries | SUBMIT NOW All That Remains | Helen Acklam Entering the Pure Arts Group Open Submission in 2013 has proved to be a pivotal time for me and for my career as a painter. Most importantly, exhibiting with Pure Arts and winning an award was a real boost to my self-confidence as an artist. Following on from that, I had the chance to exhibit in Group Shows which then led to commissions and further sales. The Pure Arts team have consistently been supportive, giving me very useful and practical feedback on my work and helped me to develop my website. Another real benefit has been the chance to get to know other Pure Arts members and gain what feels more like friendships than professional relationships!
