The Little Sprout Collective is an arts collective founded in York in 2017, and has since broken both national and international borders. Little Sprout hosts a variety of daytime conference and workshop events, and evening exhibition and gig events. Conferences and workshops have involved a range of artists and academics alike from the University of York, and wider community, including theatre-makers, yogis, dancers, documentary-makers, political activists, app designers, chefs and local businesses owners. Each participant is encouraged to either present or coordinate their own 30-40 minute workshop, lecture, seminar, activity or similar for the rest of the participants to enjoy. Gigs and Exhibitions come together when artist-to-artist collaboration occurs as a result of the networking between participants. The Little Sprout Collective later hosts evening events under a collectively devised theme, in association with the artists and their new work.
