Open School East Public Programme

Open School East is a free, independent art school in Margate that focuses on collective learning through the arts for adults, young people and children. 

Each year the current cohort of Associate Artists develops and delivers a public programme of events. Their public events, activities and short courses invite interactions between the artistic community, the local neighbourhood and the broader public. They include skills-based workshops, talks, seminars, reading groups, walks, performances, concerts, screenings and social gatherings. They are organised by, and in dialogue with OSE alumni and staff, guest practitioners, and local and regional partner organisations.
