Events & Short Courses
Our 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 Associates, alumni and staff, guest practitioners, and local and regional partner organisations.
Our public events and short courses are open to all, free of charge and do not require booking unless otherwise stated. Internal sessions are programmed by our Associates and are learning opportunities for collaboration between our Associates and Young Associates.
