Guest Blog by Emmy Oranges
Are you a visual artist, illustrator, maker, designer, photographer, gallery worker, arts organiser or creative practitioner based in Southport?
Join us for an informal evening of conversation, connection and collaboration as we explore what the future of the visual arts scene in Southport could look like.
Following recent discussions with local MP Patrick Hurley about creating a lasting legacy from the exciting cultural events and investment coming to Southport in 2026, we’d love to hear directly from the people who make up our creative community.
Thursday 25th June 2026
6pm to 8pm
Southport Market
Hosted by:
Emmy Oranges (Art Ease CIC)
Tiffany Horan (The Atkinson)
Norrie (The ArtHouse)
This isn’t a formal meeting or networking event. It’s simply an opportunity to meet fellow creatives, share ideas, discuss opportunities and talk about how you’d like to be involved in the future of arts and culture in Southport.
No booking required. Just come along. Food and drinks will be available to purchase from the market vendors.
Please share with any Southport-based creatives who might be interested. The more voices involved, the stronger our creative community becomes.
