Make CIC is proud to announce the launch of Art After Dark, a brand-new evening event celebrating Birkenhead’s thriving creative scene through exhibitions, open studios, and community-driven activities.
Taking place on Friday 21st March, Art After Dark invites visitors to explore the town’s artistic heart, with local creative spaces opening their doors for a night of discovery and connection. The event aims to foster collaboration between Birkenhead’s creative organisations, encourage engagement with the local arts community, and bring new energy to the area’s cultural offerings.
The event will feature contributions from several key local organisations, including Hamilton Vault Studios, Spider Project, Make It Happen, the Williamson Art Gallery, Bloom, Rathbone Studios, Future Yard and Landlines Studio with more venues and participants to be announced. Each location will showcase unique exhibitions, open studios, and creative experiences, offering something for everyone — from art enthusiasts to curious newcomers.
As the driving force behind this initiative, Make CIC will host a resident showcase at the Hamilton creative hub, highlighting the incredible talent nurtured within the space. From visual art and design to crafts and sculpture, the showcase will feature a diverse range of work from the Make community.
This event is free and open to all ages!
