The Refugee Roots Art Club have been meeting at City Arts to collaborate with artist Márcia Porto. Together they are working on an exhibition, which will be displayed in the Window Gallery at City Arts.

As part of Nottingham Refugee Week 2025, the group and artist are inviting you to drop in to City Arts during one of their workshops. Join them any time between 10:30am and 12:30pm. Check out the exhibition, share a cup of tea with the participants and take part in a conversation about life and creativity. You’ll also have the chance to make some art of your own.
All ages welcome.
