Event description

Wednesday 26th March, 6pm-8pm, hosted by local art curator, Millie Lake!

Millie is passionate about removing barriers that traditional galleries and museums impose to enable everyone, regardless of their background or familiarity with art, to engage in creativity in a meaningful way. With a strong emphasis on community, she collaborates with local organisations with the aim of bringing more art to Bournemouth and the surrounding areas, contributing to the regeneration of the high street and enabling creative businesses and individuals to flourish.

Join us for this small group session, sharing your own work, or simply discovering the work of others. Feel empowered with supportive and insightful feedback. Creatives of all ages and stages welcome. Expect an inspiring evening of chat, with a cuppa.

OSC: Show & Tell Nights

Would you love some useful, constructive feedback on your work, offered by other creatives?

Join us at TOSH on a Wednesday evening for our monthly Show & Tell Nights, formed as part of our new artist development programme, Open School Creative (OSC).

Share your creative work, ideas or concepts in one of our five informal sharing slots (5 mins sharing in whatever form suits you!), or simply come along to discover new work and offer your thoughts in a safe, supportive space - alongside those from our rotating artist specialists.

What to share?

You might share a current project, or a past one that you'd like to learn from. You might tell us about your creative journey so far, looking for advice on what to do next. You could show your artwork, songs, songwriting, creative writing, a social media campaign idea, graphic design, interior design, illustration, storyboards, film, photography, fine art, portfolio, website design, social media, your branding and logos, your creative business idea, event / workshop ideas, ceramics, choreography, performance, craft, millinery, jewellery, costume, product design, animation, a commission in progress, creative research work... and more!

Guest Host of the Month: Millie Lake

Millie Lake is a Bournemouth-based art curator currently working as the Assistant Curator at TheGallery, Arts University Bournemouth.

Millie has curated major exhibitions at TheGallery, such as the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2023, and collaborated with organisations like charity Soroptimist International to curate an exhibition raising awareness of the United Nations’ campaign 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence. She is currently partnered with Patch Places in Bournemouth to bring an exhibition of Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire-based artists to the town centre as a way of exploring different sites as art venues while helping emerging artists get discovered by new audiences.

What ticket type do I need?

Choose a 'Share Work' ticket if you'd like to have some space to share with us, or an 'Audience' ticket if you'd rather just see what it's all about and offer some thoughts if you'd like to.
