Calling all South West artists!

Failspace is an informal gathering for South West-based artists, making a playful space to embrace FAILURE. Join us to chat, laugh, question, and share the best (and worst) of our collective endeavours. We will provide snacks, a warmly facilitated discussion, and an opportunity to network with other artists.

Each Artist’s Failspace features a guest creative as our ‘Artist in the Corner’, and this month we are thrilled to welcome street artist Steve McCracken aka None Here. You may know his work from around Exeter, as Steve brightens the streets with colourful painted birds and fish in unexpected places. Steve will be responding to conversations, taking creative risks, and embracing potential failure by creating a piece of art live in the room. This event is for creatives of any kind who are based in the South West, at all stages of their career – producers, makers, artists, performers, composers, poets, clowns – all are welcome.
