AT TURF PROJECTS, 46/47 TRINITY COURT (GROUND FLOOR), WHITGIFT SHOPPING CENTRE, CROYDON CR01UQ

In this free artists’ workshop, learn about alternative artist economies with Nora Silva. Over a cuppa we will take an honest look at the history of artists and day jobs, and a practical look to creative thinking and resourceful organisations that work with different structures.

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is recommended as spaces are limited.
