Dec 26,2020I was very pleased to have had the opportunity to work with the PureArts Group on two projects recently. The first was an interview-based event which showcased my art work and my working practice. This was advantageous in that it brought me sales and an introduction to a new gallery outlet for my work. The second was an online gallery where my work was shown alongside that of other artists, all of whom produce work of a very high standard. Lesley Samms has a very strong interest in promoting the work of artists she believes in. She is extremely professional, but highly personable, and is a delight to work with. I would highly recommend using her services to any artist looking to promote their work, or using Lesley’s considerable experience to help analyse and improve working practices with a view to expansion.

Dec 21,2020The Pure Arts Group has been brilliant from its very early beginnings. Helping artists to grow, and prosper their work and careers as artists and human beings. A group where Members can gain experience, and take part in the management of exhibitions, demonstrations, talks etc., growing their own and the careers of others, and all in a safe and sharing environment. From regular exhibition in London and the South East of England the Pure Arts group has moved seamlessly in this time of Lockdown into the digital world, with our Founder Lesley Samms remotely interviewing artists in their own studios for us all to share, and as always in a fun and inclusive way.

Dec 18,2020Having recently joined Pure Arts Group as I move from teaching to freelance practice I have been really impressed by the professional showcasing of artists work as well as inspiring talks, resources, training and mentoring. A warm, supportive and vibrant organisation I highly recommend joining.

Dec 18,2020The Pureartsgroup offers artists the opportunity to develop their art practice freely alongside: pier group support/feedback, individual mentoring, engagement with relevant webinars, group discussions and courses on a wide range of topics as well as offering all round emotional and well-being support - so not just about art but about you as a person - as well as offering experienced art support. There is no pressure to engage with anything you don't wish to but there is an awful lot on offer whenever you do want to engage. You can pick and choose what you wish to engage with, without feeling undue pressure to participate in anything you don't wish to. It offers support with art opportunities and opens up exhibition opportunities. In my view it offers artists a valuable independent support network especially those primarily engaged in studio practice in isolation from others. The annual cost of membership is minimal considering what is on offer. What more can you really ask for? Totally recommend at least trying a one year membership and see for yourself! In lockdown it has been an invaluable lifeline in contrast to the stark isolation faced by many artists.

Dec 17,2020PURE Arts Group is a unique world wide professional support group for all artists whichever medium they use. I have been a member for over 6 years and learned and shared so much. Founded by Lesley Samms, I have received mentoring help, skills workshops, watched interviews with other professionals , enjoyed exhibition opportunities, networking and made valuable friendships. It is a highly creative group.

Dec 17,2020Pure Arts Group is offering support to artist through a wide range of opportunities and have been bringing live interviews with artists and people from the art and wellbeing world through an extended online presence. I really enjoyed being part of their Live artist interview series ART360 on September 2020.

Dec 17,2020A great community to be part of. The concept was exactly what we needed to approach this new phase of virtual presentations. The work the team put in to achieve so much is really great value to the participants.

Dec 17,2020Participating in Pure Art 360 was a great introduction to the art world. As a recent graduate, I was working hard to build an art business but Pure was a great help in allowing meet access collectors and other artists. I think I found connection with artists the most useful, as now feel as though I would be able to message them and ask for advice at any time.

Mar 12,2021Lesley Samms is a very creative individual, always thinking outside the box and great listener. She is incredibly intuitive and professional and puts you at ease instantly. I would highly recommend her and her business. She made me realise what I wanted by asking me powerful and life changing questions.
