Focal Point Gallery’s next Creative Open Day sees them exploring curation of the current exhibition – this is an opportunity to have your say!
This is a free drop-in workshop. Feel welcome to come for 20 minutes or the full day!
Led by curator, Gisselle Garon Casas through a drop-in workshop discovering what makes an exhibition a space of creativity, inspiration and exploration – with the opportunity to curate the space yourself. Working with a floor plan of the gallery you will be within, reimagine the show from your own point of view, using the artworks on display.
You can also work on writing creative, emotive, and personal captions for the artworks in the exhibition. These will be published on the Focal Point Gallery’s website and shared within the exhibition itself.
This workshop invites participants to see S for Southend 2026 in a different way, and become part of a collective curatorial process of evaluation, rethinking, and championing the work of Southend’s community.
