Calling out for art concerning community and imagining alternative ways of living .

"As we navigate the red tapes of art galleries and profit-driven institutions: we invite fellow artists, earthlings and those still standing, to pay a sacred homage to our once-green planet earth.

By recording and re-interpreting the trails of our existence, we hope to shed new light on our collected findings and build a discussion about the need for resilient communities.

We welcome you and your creations to take shelter in the open space of Torriano Meeting House: including 2D works, sculpture, and miscellaneous works-in-progress. We will also welcome artists to submit proposals for workshops, music and theatre performances. 

So come craft yourself a safe space to dwell in our latest exhibition. Find a quiet spot in the ‘Mattress of a Cave’ and take your newest pieces live on stage."

Here with Muddy Mudlarks, is our latest opportunity to unite for a group exhibition at Torriano Meeting House, with workshops and events taking place on November 1st, 8st and 29th 2025.}}
