Events with the Little Sprout Collective

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.
