Help to support October Salon

Aim

As a volunteer group, rising rent & bills are our biggest challenge. Funding keeps our doors open for free community art & workshops.

October Salon is an open collective of artists, transforming disused spaces into usable communal creative places. We provide a meeting place for artists and advocate for local creative opportunities. We regularly run free workshops for the community.

We believe that anyone can be an artist if they have access to a supportive, creative community and environment. To that end we provide; a gallery space, so artists can exhibit their work to the community and the public; open practice space, so artists can work together on their projects with others in the community; lounge space, with comfy seats, tables, hot drinks, and a library of books on arts, crafts, and local zines. 
Each month we come together as a community to programme the space for the coming weeks. At least 50% of exhibitions are for people not already part of our collective, and we work actively with emerging artists assist them to curate and exhibit their work.
