ARTiculate

ARTiculate is running throughout July and August at The Vault Contemporary Art Salon, with sessions on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's a creative gathering for adults, and the whole thing is built around storytelling, simple art-making, reflection and connection.

The way it works is pretty straightforward: you come for the story, you stay to create, and you leave with a moment of personal revelation and a handmade piece. It's described as a welcoming, low-pressure space to disconnect and reconnect, and there's no artistic experience needed to take part. If you've never picked up a brush or a pen in your life, you'll be in good company.

Because it runs across two months, you've got plenty of dates to choose from. In July, it's on the 9th, 11th, 12th, 16th, 18th, 19th, 23rd, 25th, 26th and 30th. August adds the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 8th and 9th. That's fifteen sessions in total, so if one date doesn't work, there's usually another one just a few days later.

The Vault Contemporary Art Salon is at 42-43 King Roads Arches, Brighton, BN1 2LN. Tickets are £15.00.
