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!
