Artist-led creative community space finds new home in Lit Bar

For now, meet ups are planned each Sunday afternoon before Christmas.

Sunday 7 December 2pm-4pm: Pitch Us!

Anyone with an idea for using the space is invited to this planning meeting. It’s also a chance to learn about volunteering at October Salon. The volunteer role is part invigilator, part tea-maker, part librarian, part practitioner, part caretaker to unlock, set up, clear up after session and lock up.

Sunday 14 December 2pm-4pm: Christmas Jacob’s Join

Attendees are invited to bring one portion of food – anything from a packet of crisps to something more fancy – though no one will be turned away for arriving empty-handed. The events aims to bring festive cheer to the arts community and offer a chance to reflect on the past year while meeting fellow local creatives.

Sunday 21 December: Exhibition trip to Manchester

Join the group on the 11:07 train from Preston to Manchester and visit HOME and esea contemporary. Everyone is welcome to join the trip or visit whichever galleries appeal for a pre-festive dose of art and culture.
