Part way through the exhibit, on Saturday 10th October, we’re putting on an afternoon of art and chat, with a chance to get involved in various forms of creative expression. Cass from Go Mug Yourself will be around to help you can make a mug or a plant pot of your favourite character. Cartoons from the Pit will be around running cartoon drawing, speed drawing and watercolour workshops. The event will run 1-4pm that day, the club will be open from 12 noon until 5pm for anyone wanting to check out the art or chat to us.

The exhibit closes on Sunday 22nd November with a final chance to see the art and some acoustic music upstairs in the library. Come around from 4pm, bring an instrument or just come yourself. All performers welcome, collaboration encouraged. Live sketching and art encouraged. You’ll have your last chance to see and add to the artwork Yaya made on the opening night. We’re likely to play until around 7pm, pack down the art for 8pm. You can see the cartoons for the last time before we take them down.

We hope you can come, get involved, make art or enjoy our exhibition.
