MEET
VICTORIA OLDMAN
Friday 20th June - 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Sharing insights on her shopfront Gallery work
'I Am' and her creative journey to this piece 

Artist Connect is an opportunity to build and grow your creative community. Each month an artist will present a part of their work or practice. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and then a fun social where you can make new connections, finally meet that person you have been following on socials, find others who are mixing up their practice, emerging onto the scene, or perhaps just working outside of the mainstream flow. 

 

The room will be full of other curious creative folk. It's also your chance to connect. We will be inviting and reaching out to artists, opportunity makers, art commissioners and gallery curators. Discover local emerging or evolving artists from Hastings to Eastbourne as they share their work, current practice, or the story of what has brought them to this point!
