Arnolfini has partnered with OTR to offer a free weekly Creative Space for 18-25 year olds.
Experiment with different materials, explore Arnolfini’s exhibitions, meeting exhibiting artists, and be inspired.
We think creativity is a great tool to support wellbeing. Making things in the company of other people can reduce anxiety, help us feel like ourselves, and be a way to find connection with others, with art, with the world around us and with ourselves.
This isn’t an art class and it’s not art therapy. It’s a space to try things out, follow your nose, be creative and be part of a small community in a contemporary art gallery.
If you’re interested in creativity in any form then we’d love you to be part of Creative Space.
When?
Thursdays, 4 – 5.30pm
Who for?
18-25 year olds based in Bristol & South Gloucestershire

See what young people have said about Creative Space:
“It’s a combination of the space and the people and how they interact with each other. It’s the lack of judgement and the celebration of joy that happens in the group.”
“We get so much freedom to be ourselves so completely.”
“There is no pressure to be a particular kind of person; you can just be silent and hang out and it’s okay to do that. But being around people without the pressure automatically creates connection and makes you feel part of something.”
