The Creative Popup is at Angel Place shopping centre in Bridgwater. and will offer a range of activities over the next twelve months!
Based on feedback received from Bridgwater residents at our Creative Accelerators where we were told that not enough creative activities were happening in the town centre. We wanted to create a space that serves as a blank canvas where artists can come and provide unique and engaging projects, exhibitions, workshops or performances free for the public to enjoy.
We have a twelve month lease on the space and the aim is to fill it with a diverse programme of works. We would encourage any artists with project ideas for the Popup or anyone that would like to be involved in anyway to express interest as an artist or group or get in touch with the Seed team
The Popup is now open with it’s first exhibition The Individuality Project
