FREE ENTRY

Thursday 10th January 2019: 6pm – 9pm

New for 2019 – Metal have decided to shake up Future Network – our regular networking evening for creative people working in any artistic discipline – and try a new format.

We are inviting guest artists to curate and host a pub style ‘art quiz’, putting their spin on the night, deciding the rounds and themes of the evening; still with a chance to meet other creatives and hear about up coming opportunities.

Each evening will include an invited guest host, plus our regular 10 x 3 Minute Wonder open mic spots – open to any artist, designer, performer or other creative who would like to talk about their work, practice or current projects. If this sounds like you and you would like to book your slot, please email us via ruth@metalculture.com
To kick off the New Year and our new format – award winning poet and spoken word artist  Mark Grist will be your very own host. For his quiz, GET OFF YOUR ARTS!
