A Smithfield Works X Centre Space Collab...
HD 1.0
In collaboration with Smithfield Works, Centre Space Arts are shining a spotlight on the raw talent of local artists in a dynamic new way. Over the next year, expect a rotating showcase of artists bringing their work to the open spaces of Smithfield Works.
But that’s not all, each artist will take centre stage for one night for an exclusive pop-up event. Think stunning visuals, immersive experiences, live music from top local talent, including complimentary food and drink to set the vibe. Get ready for a year of unforgettable creative energy. This is art, unfiltered, unexpected, and right at the heart of Staffordshire.
