Who?
An introduction to Big Shop Friday, taking a closer look at our activities to date.

What?
An open discussion about what an artist-led space could look like in Milton Keynes. What is an artist-led space? What is it for? What can we do? What should we do? What is stopping us?
How?
A making session to produce multiple pin-badges with answers and actions to the questions
raised. We encourage participants to take these away with them, wear them as a way to initiate a wider conversation about artist-led spaces in Milton Keynes.
