Join us on Saturday 18 November where we'll be having a jam-packed away day in Southampton visiting the University of Southampton Arts & Humanities Day, John Hansard Gallery, SoCo Music and CHAOS Network!
Morning - University of Southampton’s Arts & Humanities Day:
We’ll be going up to the Avenue Campus for the University of Southampton’s Arts & Humanities Day in the morning – a one-day free event with researchers and artists providing activities and live events. Make sure to check out their full line up online of whats on.
Mid-morn - John Hansard Gallery:
Then we'll head back into the city centre to visit the John Hansard Gallery’s latest exhibition ‘Standing on the Edge’ supported by Koestler Arts – showcasing artwork from the criminal justice system, co-curated by learners at HM Prison Isle of Wight. Koestler Arts is the UK’s best known and oldest prison arts charity, who aim to inspire prisoners and people with experience of the criminal justice system to take part in the arts.
Afternoon - SoCo Music & Chaos Network:
In the afternoon we will meet with the SoCo Music team CEO, Matt Salvage & Craig Lockwood - Head of Youth, and CHAOS Network Co-ordinator Becky Honeycombe-Foster, in their new venue at Planet Sounds. We'll hear about their methodology, opportunities and meet with other Southampton based Creatives to find out more about each other’s practice and projects across the Solent.
SoCo develops projects that engage and elevate music for people from all backgrounds and alibilities. Through their programmes, they support music making for children, young people and vulnerable adults, as well as music careers, though recording, promoting, training and development.
The CHAOS Network was set up ten years ago with a simple aim – to support and promote culture in Southampton by providing the time and space for the city’s creatives to meet, make connections, collaborate and share their experiences.
