Special Events
In July of 2024 we staged The Summer Project, a 9 day artists residency and lecture program which attracted 42 Artists, from the Hyper local to the Global, including participants from Italy, Brazil, South Korea, Hong Kong, and France. 14 Artist Mentors facilitated learning in 4 study areas : Environment, Identity, Migration and Sustainability. There was a creative space for everyone; traditional materials and heritage craft intersected with the latest in technology from VR to projection mapping with our diverse team of mentors.
Some of the many outcomes included:
- A new diverse community of artists, local, global and online.
- A new global network of creatives, partnerships and creative organisations.
- Active platform for socially engaged arts practice and advocacy.
- Boost for local businesses in Halesworth and surrounding areas
We are working towards running our next Summer Project artist residency in 2027.
