What do we promise?

We know it is easy to be confident & inspired when you are established, connected or making money!

So, we at The Wooden Box Gallery promise (where possible) to champion & support PEOPLE who are :-

• Starting out, working in secret or are yet to have found like-minded people

• Working with themes, mediums or styles that they may feel personal, challenging or controversial 

• Finding that they have lost their flow, their confidence or inspiration

• Maybe in need of individual or group support to overcome or understand their creative or expressive blocks or insecurities.

• Wanting to challenge themselves to be brave, unapologetic, uncensored & honest in their creative or personal journey  

• We at The WBG also promise to be open, honest, authentic & assertive.  We promise to lead by example, being brave to be seen & heard. 

 

What else do we promise?

​

• A wide range of informal, fun & educational gatherings for anyone who would like to make friends, widen horizons, maybe learn something new & share time with others. 

• We offer exhibition space for people to show their work, hold artist talks, workshops or teaching sessions. We hold group exhibitions on themes that members of the public suggest would be useful, interesting, educational or provocative. 

• We offer space in our cafe & gallery for members of the public to host events that bring people together for fun, creative, social, informative or supportive reasons.

• The WBG seeks to offer opportunities to help young* artists, curators, entrepreneurs & researchers as they learn their craft & understand their own ways of planning, producing, exhibiting & developing their work. We use the term *young not as a marker of age but rather as a marker of attitude, energy, curiosity, bravery & hope. Therefore, alongside the students of local schools & colleges, we actively welcome applications for exhibitions & projects from creatives of any age & experience.
