The Many Actors Make Art (MAMA) Exhibition 2025 returns to Brixton this July for 3 nights only.
The Many Actors Make Art (MAMA) exhibition returns for its third time at Downstairs at The Department Store in Brixton, offering a platform for theatre actors and creatives to showcase their talents beyond the stage through visual art. This unique exhibition will run for just three evenings from 8 - 10 July and is in support of The Theatre Artists Fund. The MAMA exhibition celebrates the visual artwork of actors and creatives from the theatre world, showcasing the hidden talents of performers beyond the stage.
Founded by actors Nancy Carroll and Christopher Villiers, MAMA was born from their friendship during the filming of Magic Mike’s Last Dance in 2022. While working together on set, they bonded over a shared love of painting, which sparked the idea for MAMA: a platform for those who also create visual art to come together and exhibit their work.
Now in its third year, the exhibition features returning artists Tristan Brooke, Anna Calder-Marshall, Nancy Carroll, Noel Coward, Jason Eclair, Miles Evans, Nicholas Farrell, James Fleet, Clive Francis, Mark Gatiss, Peter Hannah, Richard Hansell Knott, James Hayes, Anastasia Hille, Amy Hope, Phoebe Horn, Rebecca Lacey, Georgia Landers, John Lithgow, Abigail McKern, Jason Merrells, Phoebe Newlan, Emily Pithon, Tish Potter, Amanda Root, Cameron Slater, Suzan Sylvester, Christopher Villiers, Robert Whitelock, Rufus Wright.
New artists joining this year include Hana Al-Sayed, Francesca Brazzo, Aya Cash, Joe Edgar, Rosalind Ford, Molly Gaisford, Stella Gonet, Ruby Law, Tobias Menzies, James Murray, Chris Naylor, Tom Neenan, Mark Francome Painter, Anna-Louise Plowman, Joseph Prowen, Timothy Spall, Chiara Stephenson, Triana Terry, Sophie Thompson, Lizzie Winkler and Naomi Wirthner.
In addition, there will be a Lucky Dip. For a £20 donation, punters will receive a sealed envelope containing a surprise postcard sized piece of art made by one of the artists.
