CURRENT PROJECTS
Climate Cafe:
Contributor Call Out for 1st August 2026
The theme for August is: The secret life of rivers, lakes and ponds
We invite artists to explore the role of water, rivers, lakes and ponds in climate justice.
This is an open call for artists, creatives or community members who are interested in expanding their practice to think, talk about and explore the themes of climate justice in their work. You could be looking for the chance to try out a participatory activity as a volunteer or offer your skills to the project as a community member or looking for paid work as a local artist.
We’d love to hear from artists and non-artists alike with an idea to bring any of our upcoming themes to life. We’re also keen to hear from you if you would like to bring a repair skill or other skill to share at one of our climate cafes.
Previous examples of repair/skills sharing have included;
Jewellery Repair
Instrument Repair
Cooking skills
Bicycle repair
Re-purposing household items
All proposals should have a participatory element and be suitable for people of all ages and abilities, to drop in and take part.
Where applicable, we will be able to provide a fee for the workshop which is available to cover the costs of delivering the activity on the day.
We will be able to provide materials and equipment where needed and provide support in planning and delivery.
