Open Art Space: Flower Power

This summer, Open Art Space moves to the purpose-built Artists’ Hub, offering a vibrant programme of free, drop-in creative workshops for families and visitors of all ages. Led by resident artists, this hands-on session is inspired by the Bloom exhibition and invites participants to explore themes of nature, colour and creativity. Using mixed media and recycled materials, visitors can design and make their own unique flower to take home, developing new skills while expressing their imagination. Suitable for all ages and abilities, the workshop provides a welcoming space to create, experiment and connect with others. Whether you’re visiting Bishop Auckland for the day or are a local resident, drop in, get creative and contribute to a summer celebration of art, sustainability and community.
