I heard from a reliable source that there are a group of RAA students who are planning to take the 'Naked Road' notion to what they believe to be its natural conclusion. Their idea is to appear on the street at some point with no clothes on, armed only with easels on which to paint still life... . . Nice idea. Look forward to seeing it .. . if they can find anything still to paint on Exhibition Road.

This is part of a redevelopment plan for Exhibition Road.
