Art in the Community

Art in the Community sessions are for people who use creativity to improve their well-being, and for recovery from mental and physical issues.

Led and supported by Clive Wakeford, new participants are always welcome to come and join this relaxed and informal art class.

Community and Partners

Alongside our own exhibitions, cinema screenings, workshops, talks and events, Firstsite is proud to host a wide range of activities from local organisations, groups and creative partners.

These events are organised independently by those hiring our spaces, and reflect the rich mix of ideas and interests across our community.
