Most people only see the finished walls.  They don’t see the months of graft behind them.

Working with a very small crew, we stripped out the building. Filled skip after skip. Made abandoned spaces safe, clean and ready for the public. Electrics. Plumbing. Insurance. Health & Safety. Risk assessments. Enlisting a gang of volunteers to help staff the events. Built the shop counter. Walls down. Walls up. Walls painted.

​

Then we brought the artists in,  talent from across the UK and overseas, turning raw space into living canvas.

We secured sponsors. Designed the entire experience. Built and curated the gallery, the shop, the online store, an online auction and the financial platforms. Even the DJ booth was designed and built in-house by Sola  because if we do it, we do it properly.

Every detail handled. Every corner considered.

​

​We didn’t just host events.
We built something that mattered.
