What's Next?
Open Space 70 was a whirlwind of art, passion and creativity! So what's next?

We’re busy working on the creation of our next environmentally themed project, with workshops, community-based sharings, exhibitions and performances planned for 2024 around the beautiful, engaging and thought-provoking short story, ‘The Man Who Planted Trees’ by Jean Giono. 

As with Open Space 70, the project will be created and co-curated with a small team of outstanding professional artists, environmental experts, local communities and community groups in partnership with other leading arts and environmental organisations from across the borough, and presented in June / July 2024 as part of Calderdale’s Year of Culture.
