A chance to chat about work away from your laptop, share knowledge and spread gossip. Somewhere between a forum, Neighbourhood Watch meeting and a 12 step plan.

A nomadic, arty, talk thing for Southend artists, makers and fakers.

A chance to chat about work away from your laptop, share knowledge and spread gossip. Somewhere between a forum, Neighbourhood Watch meeting and a 12 step plan.

A nomadic monthly meeting for Southend artists, makers, faciliatators and do-ers to talk about their work, share knowledge and spread gossip - somewhere between a forum, coffee morning and therapy.

I recently relocated my studio and home to the beautiful Southend on Sea! Already I've met some really brilliant artists, all of whom have been super welcoming and encouraging. Being a newcomer means people quickly help you get up to speed with local gossip. Over many cups of tea and pints of lemonade we've shared frustrations with the sector, pondered the lack of programming and opportunities for performance in this part of the world and dreamt up plans that for fill our art dreams.
