The Open Canvas
A shared canvas where anyone can leave their mark. One line, one colour, one small drawing: it all counts.

An open community gathering where artists, creatives and curious minds come together to make art in a relaxed environment, outdoors in the garden.
Drop in any time. Stay for ten minutes or for the whole afternoon.
Hosted by
You’re welcome to join at any time and stay for as little or as long as you’d like.
The idea
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
Coming to watch, chat, meet new people or just find a bit of inspiration is every bit as welcome as coming to create.
A shared canvas where anyone can leave their mark. One line, one colour, one small drawing: it all counts.
Alongside the Open Canvas, Laura runs other art activities through the afternoon. Jump into whichever catches your eye, or just watch for a while.
