Gathering
Studio KIND. x VASW: Connection, Community, Hope
An event addressing how we can foster hope through connectivity and stay part of the conversation in our rural spaces.
Studio KIND. x VASW: Connection, Community, Hope
Friday 27 Sept / 10-4.30pm
Studio KIND. at The Corn Store, Barnstaple
Booking: Free to attend (capacity 34) offered on a first-come-first-served basis, with a limited number of travel bursaries available, offered at different levels. See more details below.
Part of VASW's ‘How Can I Stay? (I don't want to not want to stay)’ programme.
This one-day event will be a chance to meet creative practitioners from across the South West and share our thoughts, feelings, and hopes for a connected, nurturing community; asking 'how can we foster hope through connectivity?' The day will include a number of discussions, workshops and mind-mapping exercises (with lots of creative flare) to think about ways we can support one another, be part of the conversation, share skills and resources, and create meaningful collaborative relationships.
The event is delivered in collaboration with local artist, Ruth Bateman, who will be joined by Peter Stiles (local artist and cultural producer), Laura Porter (artist, curator and Studio KIND. founding director), and Sharon Gale (artist, arts educator, and Studio KIND. community engagement director). All artists will be sharing insight into the challenges they have faced across their varied careers.
The event is open to people of all ages, background, experience levels, and interests.
