Trips to performances, exhibitions, and events;
Celebrations marking significant cultural events throughout the year;
An annual residential.
We have a team of freelance Artist Facilitators from different creative disciplines who work in rotation to lead our twice monthly Group Nights. Two artists co‑deliver each workshop, planning, facilitating and evaluating the sessions together.
Group Night takes place 6-8pm on the second and last Wednesday of every month, so availability on a Wednesday evening is essential.
