Artisits Workshops

The Place are delighted to be collaborating with a local community Arts organisation Thortify to create a new Community Arts Hub with workshop and artist space to foster creativity and social connectivity for members of our community.

The project is centred around the renovation of a currently disused part of the community centre. The aim is to transform it from two decommissioned pottery rooms to a thriving community arts space, which will benefit individuals and groups in the local area and beyond. Room 1 (Wheel Room) will be a multi-use space, fitted out as a workshop/exhibition/meeting space, and functioning office. Room 2 (Kiln Room) will be remodelled to provide up to 5 workspaces for community-focused local artists working across diverse disciplines.

Our Community Arts Hub will support us to combat social isolation and mental ill health through creative interventions, such as accessible arts workshops, community exhibitions and events.

Watch this space for updates!
