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 provoctive. 

• 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.
