For makers, artists and the endlessly curious
Creative & Curious
Exhibition openings, craft fairs, open studios and classes where you get your hands dirty. Come to look, stay to make something.
Or jump straight to what you’re into
On soon for makers & creatives
Free openings, a proper old-school fair and a Tuesday night class that might become your thing.
This is for you if…
You don’t need to be good at it. You just need to want in.
You make things
Paint, clay, wood, code, sourdough. If you lose whole afternoons to it, it counts.
You’d rather look closely
Gallery Saturdays, artist walkabouts, the small museum nobody else seems to know about.
You’ve been meaning to start
That class you bookmarked two years ago. Consider this your nudge.
You like your hands busy
Poi, pottery, printmaking. Learning with your body as much as your head.

Your first exhibition opening
Openings can feel like a club you weren’t invited to. You were. Here’s how they usually go.
- Most openings are free. If the listing says RSVP, do it, it helps the gallery plan.
- Go early to see the work properly, later if you came to chat.
- Artists love a real question. “What were you thinking about when you made this?” works every time.
- There’s often wine. There’s never a dress code.
Questions? Answered.
Do I need any experience?
No. Exhibitions and fairs are just for showing up. Classes say on the listing if they expect you to know the basics, and most don’t.
How much does it cost?
Plenty is free, especially gallery openings. Fairs and classes show their price on the listing so there are no surprises at the door.
Do I book through Flow State?
No. Each listing links to the organiser, who handles tickets and RSVPs. We point you there, they look after you.
Can I list my exhibition, class or market?
Yes, and it’s free. Send it through and it’ll be live within 24 hours.
Not quite you?
Most people are a bit of all three. Have a look at what the others are up to.
Showing work or running a class?
List it free. We’ll put it in front of people who actually want to come.
