August 2025 - Join us on Thursdays from 12 - 3.30 to make new work towards our young people’s exhibition in September

For two weeks in September we have access to the John Bowen Gallery in Malmesbury Town Hall and will be curating an exhibition of work by the young people of Malmesbury. Get in touch if you would like to submit work - email, whatsapp or call in to see us Monday - Saturday 10 - 4.30pm.

We have created a new young people's art studio, a place where local young people between the ages of 13 and 19 can develop their creative practice alongside others, in a supportive environment where resources such as printing facilities, art materials, and a computer with creative software will be provided. Young people have been able to access the studio on a drop-in basis, and through artist-led workshops in the school holidays.

In Autumn 2024, we supported the creation of a new quarterly zine, M:ZINE produced by young people in the Malmesbury area. M:ZINE provides a platform for sharing their creativity, interests, passions and ideas about making the lives of local people better. The first edition chose the theme of sustainability. Through the programme, and with initial support from Wiltshire Council Area Board, Warden and Freeman and Malmesbury Carnival, we aim to:

- offer new opportunities for young people to have a voice and creative outlet in their community.

- develop skills in design, writing, photography for young people.

- foster a sense of pride in their local area amongst young people
