Where will you be this weekend?

We’ll be heading over to the opening of The Generator — a new arts venue opening its doors to the public for the first time.

Opening a new space ourselves, we know how much work it takes to get to this point. We had a sneak preview and were blown away by the level of detail, care and ambition — it’s a huge moment for the town. Hats off to the team.

🧵 Our Very Fabric
24 April — 29 May 2026
Curated by Pasha Kincaid

The inaugural exhibition brings together work across textiles, fashion, print, photography and design — reflecting on the building’s history and its connection to making and creative education. Expect installations, material-led work and opportunities to engage with processes through workshops and activity across the programme.

Featuring artists including Purnima Chavda, Maggie Cooper, Beth Lukockyj, Nita Rao and Selene States, alongside work developed with artists, students and community groups.

Opening weekend starts Friday evening with a celebration, with the exhibition open to the public from Saturday.

⚡️Meet you at The Generator ⚡️

Flat Earth by Phil Root
at Modern Painters, New Decorators

Flat Earth brings together new ceramic works shaped by foraged and industrial materials — unprocessed clay, wood ash and brick dust — gathered from sites in and around Bristol.

Working with clay as an active material, Root allows surfaces to shift and settle through casting and firing. Glazes pool, crack and transform in the kiln, recording the conditions of their making — shaped by heat, atmosphere and time.

References to medieval tilework, street surfaces and construction sites run throughout the exhibition, bringing together local materials, historic processes and contemporary approaches to ceramics.

The Sick Rose brings together paintings, drawings and sculptural assemblages in a symbolic world of roses, swans and watchful eyes. Painted eyes peer out across the space, while small, glittering sculptural forms made from found materials sit awkwardly on shelves.

Final day to apply – Evaluator (Freelance) 📊

We’re looking for a freelance Evaluator to support Folk Threads: Connecting Stories, Ecology & Community — an Arts Council England–funded project exploring ecology, storytelling, and community through artist commissions, events, and partnerships.

Working with the MPND team, you’ll review project documentation, gather insight from artists and partners, and produce a concise final report to support learning, future development, and funding.

This project has taken place alongside the opening of our new venue in Loughborough, so the evaluation will also reflect a period of organisational growth and change.

💼 May – July 2026
⏰ Approx. 3 days total | £1,200
📍 Remote (UK-based)

We’re particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in evaluation, research, or socially engaged arts practice.

If you’ve been considering applying, there’s still time — we’d love to hear from you.

📝 Deadline: today, Friday 10 April (5pm)
