The idea
What is Art 4 Everyone?
Art 4 Everyone is an open community gathering where artists, creatives and curious minds come together to make art in a relaxed environment.
Bring your sketchbook, paints, crochet, embroidery, photography, writing, instrument or any creative project you’re working on. You can also simply come to watch, chat, meet new people, or find inspiration.
No pressure. No perfection. Just expression, away from the galleries, back to the streets.
Come prepared, or don’t
Bring whatever you’re working on
- Sketchbook
- Paints
- Crochet
- Embroidery
- Photography
- Writing
- An instrument
- Any project in progress
- …or nothing at all
Coming to watch, chat, meet new people or just find a bit of inspiration is every bit as welcome as coming to create.
Two things to join in on
Art activities
Alongside the Open Canvas, Laura runs other art activities through the afternoon. Jump into whichever catches your eye, or just watch for a while.
