The Offer and The Evening Offer are a response to the context of Coronavirus and the devastating impact it has had on our society, and not least on the creative and cultural community. It is a space for anyone involved in or interested in a cultural response to the climate and ecological emergency to gather, to question, to share, and to support each other.

They will be happening every Wednesday, initially from April-June. The Offer at 11am for conversation-based sessions and The Evening Offer at 7.30pm for creative and regenerative sessions. If anyone is interested in making an offer and leading a session please do get in touch at culturedeclares@gmail.com or via our social media.
