Artists – Connect with Local Organisations

Sculpture Placement Group (SPG) warmly invites you to join us at ESW for an afternoon of creative exchange with local organisations, charities, and community groups.This informal networking event uses a “speed meeting” format, pairing artists with organisation reps for short conversations. Expect inspiring discussions, new contacts, and opportunities for collaborations, commissions, or artwork loans.The evening also celebrates the relaunch of Loan Toolkit, our artist-led catalogue of artworks available for loan. Upload your sculptural works in advance if you’d like to take part – but all artists are welcome, regardless of medium.Upload your Artworks to the Loan Toolkit
