Join the ‘Cultivate That’ artists and the Turf team for a celebratory lunch, and intro to the project – an opportunity to explore the new offshoots this residency programme has cultivated.

The act of cultivation involves fostering growth, providing support & encouragement via labour, care or study. Building on our learning from pilot project ‘Propagate This’ & continuing our focus on process over output, we’ve been hosting 6 x artist residencies spanning the months of Spring 2022.

Taking new offshoots of our pilot as a starting point, ‘Cultivate That’ has aimed to provide artists & local partners with tools to propagate new work; offering space, funding, time, support, local/national networks; & inviting audiences to be part of shaping conversations.

This event is free to attend, but booking is necessary. Please RSVP via the link above. Lunch will be provided. If you have any access needs that you would like to discuss with us in advance of the session, please get in touch: holly@turf-projects.com

WORKSHOP CODE:

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;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
