Here we are... the final week!!

'THIS IS BEDFORD' our final exhibition opens this Wednesday at 10am which includes work from across our five weeks of workshops, artists in residence and artist takeover.

Our time in the space is coming to an end. We're sad it's almost over but overjoyed with how it has gone. The last 5 weeks have been incredible, filled with creativity, curiosity and conversation, and we're looking forward to the very last one.

We are endlessly grateful for everyone who has been involved. People have given their time generously as volunteers and champions, and filled the space with art and creativity as event organisers and participants.

'This is Bedford' Grand Finale Exhibition
Weds 16 August - Sun 20 August
10am - 5pm
Preview: tomorrow night (open to all)
Tues 15 August, 6pm - 8pm

We'd be delighted if you could join us in this final week. Stay tuned for info on our closing party...

Date for your diary:
Sunday 20th August 🧡

A reminder that we wouldn't be here without Bedford Creative Arts who we're partnered with on this project, and the support of Bedford Borough Council thanks to their Town Centre Priority Fund.

This week, we're hoping to finally shout out about all the people that made this project. From the logo design, to painting the walls, to providing cake! The kindness and support shows no bounds. 🥰🫶
