What support do artists need to develop a creative career?
About this Event

What support do artists need to develop a creative career? 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. Join Turf CoDirector Rosie Crane Eckmire for an informal discussion with artist Alice Channer, reflecting on their 2019 Turf show Birthing Pool, what she’s been up to since & exploring the importance of artist-led spaces like Turf in their development.

ABOUT ALICE:

Alice Channer is an artist working with sculpture. Her forms and materials are found in the social and sensual worlds of industrial and natural processes. Over long periods of time, she immerses herself in organic and synthetic materials and production processes to find forms within them that she develops as sculpture. Her method is both experimental and precise, collaborating with people, machines, and materials to bring multiple bodies and voices into her polyphonic works.

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.
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.
