How do we collectively ensure the sustainability of daring new work beyond conception?

Join us for an open and artist-led discussion on the important of collaboration and support in the creation and longevity of new work.

An exciting opportunity to spend a relaxed Saturday afternoon in our Café Bar connecting with fellow creatives and chatting through challenging ideas.
