What to Expect

We are developing a programme of practical support opportunities which will be announced soon and shaped directly by the needs identified through the registration form.

Why We Are Starting This

Artists and creative practitioners have told us that regular, informal spaces to meet are valuable but can be difficult to sustain.

The Artists’ Cafe offers a fresh approach, supported by the wider Spark Presents programme and hosted in a professional venue with the facilities and visibility to help it grow. It is a simple but effective way to build creative connections throughout the year and make greater use of the Royal Spa Centre during the daytime.

• Visual artists
