Creating Chicks and their Machines allows for a more relaxed art experience. My main aim is to have people interacting with local artists and to consider walking away with an original artwork that they may not have thought they could access or afford. There will be coffee and live music to create a fun atmosphere with a car boot sale vibe for the whole community to enjoy.![]()

In today’s art world, the path to presenting your work to an audience can be a daunting challenge for artists. And visiting traditional gallery spaces can also feel confronting for new art collectors. Through Chicks and their Machines we are presenting a space to bring these two groups together. Offering a casual experience to peruse artworks. A win, win all round!
