Thurrock CAN is Arts Outburst’s artist-led network for creatives across Thurrock. We bring established and emerging practitioners, producers and organisations into the same room to connect, collaborate and spark new opportunities.

Across the year we host:

• Quarterly networking evenings (Thursdays) for meeting peers, sharing projects and finding collaborators.
• Monthly Creative Coffee Catch Ups for informal chats and signposting.
• Skill shares, workshops and guest conversations shaped by the needs and interests of local artists.

Whether you’re building a practice, looking for collaborators, or exploring the sector for the first time, you’re welcome. Come along, introduce yourself, and plug into a supportive, inclusive community making culture happen in Thurrock.
