The SET 91 Open Series is a programme of talks, workshops, and discussions designed to help artists navigate contemporary practice. Running alongside our exhibitions, the series creates space for shared knowledge and practical learning, from writing crits and funding talks to craft-based sessions.
Sessions take place periodically throughout the year and are open to practitioners at all stages of their career.
