Bodies of Water
An artist residency and collaborative exhibition space with events and workshops hosted by Fra Beecher
We have a programme of Projects planned for 2024/25, with space for Open Calls, PopUps (short events that fit with the theme of the current Project) and Scratch Nights. Keep a look-out on Instagram for invites to submit, and also for news of upcoming events taking place within the Projects. These will also be posted on the Events page. You are welcome to contact us if you have an idea for a PopUp or Scratch Night, and we'll keep it in mind for the right Project!
Artists are invited to reflect on their time in the space and share a selection of images at the end of their time in the space. Please see the Launderette Projects below, since its opening in Sept. 2023, and prior to that at The Garage (2019 - 2023).
