Artist Brunch with Meera Shakti Osborne

Taking place four times a year, our artist brunches are an opportunity to get feedback on your work, while digesting food and ideas in a supportive environment. This brunch will be open to all including Turf's own youth collective, Art Press.

Our co-director Rosie Crane Eckmire will be joined by Meera Shakti Osbourne who will curate a brunch menu. This will be shared a week before the event. You’re also welcome to bring your own snacks. Tea and coffee will be provided and dietary needs accommodated. Sessions will include the opportunity to get to know one another as well as sharing your work.

Participants will only be able to show work once per year. To ensure dietary needs are accommodated there will be no drop-in spaces available. If you need support with signing up, please get in touch or drop-by Turf and we can book you in!

Spots will be limited to 8 bookable spaces per session, with 3 artists sharing work.

This event is part of Tending, Turf's spring programme, growing from seeds planted during At the Meadow’s Edge. Tending returns to the question of how we notice, care and be in kinship with each other and our environment.

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 their 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.
