A event held at Lost Horizon on Thursday 2nd November. The event starts at 18:00.
ShangrilART & Jake Pond presents Ravember 2023
Ravember is simple - every day in November for the last three years Glasto The Common's Jake has illustrated a poster that reflects rave memories and relative experiences in the present day. By the end, you have 30 unique drawings in Jake’s recognisable and vivid style. This Ravember Exhibition at Lost Horizon presents three years of underground rave culture inspired illustrations, and on selected days you can find Jake working on fresh posters for Ravember 2023, in the Yard Bar over a pint or two.
The FREE public launch event, ‘Relentless’ will take place on Thursday 2 November 2023 from 5pm til 11pm. This will be the first look at the Ravember exhibition and an opportunity to celebrate the launch of the show with Jake Pond, soundtracked by hip hop / acid DJ FRD.

For nearly 30 years, Jake Pond has been creating an extensive body of dance music and underground rave culture related artwork. Starting out in the early 90s and travelling the Euro Teknival circuit, he produced flyers, posters, record labels and backdrops, developing an easily recognisable style which has contributed a visual voice to express some of the vibe of those times. More recently he has been the lead designer and artist for the Common at Glastonbury, having designed and built the field’s main venue, The Temple. He annually designs and builds for Metropolis at Boomtown fair and currently he is involved in illustrating a 12 chapter graphic novel called Jitterbug.
Each November Jake works on an ongoing drawing project called Ravember. Simply put, each day in November you make a drawing about experiences you may have had which relate to your rave memories. By the end of November you will have completed 30 drawings and illustrated a story which those of us who know, know well. These drawings have been collected in 30 page books and this November will see the fourth cycle and the creation of Ravember 23.
Lost Horizon will be showcasing the last three years of Ravember, along with Jake’s retrospective show 'Relentless...28 Years at the Top' which showcases some of his work from the last 28 years…preparing us for the next 28!
“Jake's work is not only genius, remarkable and exceptional; it holds immense significance as an invaluable contribution to our culture and future generations must experience it”
