As part of our 2025/26 LEGACY programme year, we’re inviting Turf alumni artists back to reflect on and discuss their careers since their involvement with Turf. Our second alumni artist will be Phoebe Russell, alum of our own collective of young creatives: Art Press, who has gone on to study on the Fine Art BA at Slade School of Art and was recently awarded the Clare Winsten Memorial Award.
Join Phoebe and some of the Turf team for an informal discussion about their initial involvement with Turf, how it’s impacted their career and working processes and what they’ve been up to since.

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;
