The SET 91 Open Series is a programme of talks, workshops and discussions supporting artists in navigating contemporary practice, creating space for practical learning, shared knowledge and conversation grounded in artists’ lived experience.
Running alongside the gallery’s exhibition activity, the series brings together artists, curators and arts professionals to share insight, unpack processes and discuss the realities of sustaining a creative practice today.
Sessions take place periodically throughout the year at SET 91 and are open to artists and practitioners at different stages of their practice.
