ACTIVATIONS

Activations are moments at The Turnpike when artists come together to experiment, create with communities and test new approaches towards positive social impact. Often interdisciplinary in their approach, an Activation allows the gallery and the town to become a live testing ground for new ways of making art towards long-term positive change. Our Activations connects the hyper-local to the global, with the goal of generating culture-led ideas for a sustainable and socially just future.
