What Community Means To You

Have you ever stopped to think about what connects us to our community & the place we live? This summer, we invite Sutton residents to explore their sense of community through a series of creative activities and conversations.

Multiple workshops, led by local artists, will provide a welcoming space for you to connect with fellow community members, exchange stories and express your creativity. The results of these workshops will come together in an exhibition at Sutton Central Library this September, showcasing our collective creativity & spirit of community.

We’re reaching out to all corners of our diverse community & inviting everyone to come together and share their stories, perspectives and ideas. All ages welcome, including anyone from newcomers to the borough, to lifelong Suttoners! Dive into what it means to belong to our Borough, and book your place at one of our workshops.

What to expect

  • Connection: Opportunities to meet and talk to new people
  • Stories: Share your experiences of belonging and community through narrative and verse
  • Artefacts: Bring along meaningful objects and tell the story of why they matter to you
  • Collaborative Art: Collage, Paint, Draw
