Together We Are Powerful: We Need You!

Sat 1 Jul 2023

Prepare to witness the extraordinary power we all possess right here in our local community.

From Sat Jul 22, to Sun Nov 12, the Hub is hosting a remarkable exhibition, Together We Are Powerful, that will take over our Main Gallery and spread throughout Sleaford. But here’s the exciting part—we need YOUR help to bring it to life. We’re asking to lend YOUR objects, to be a part of this extraordinary showcase.

What kind of objects are they after?

We want to include anything that holds a special story or memory for you. It could be a keepsake from a past relationship, a token of a cherished moment, or something that represents your proudest achievements. And since summer is just around the corner, why not think about those souvenirs and unforgettable holiday memories? Do you have something in mind? Fantastic! Just bring it to the Hub and tell us the unique story behind it.

As well as being a showcase of stories and objects, this exhibition is also a milestone celebration as the Hub commemorates its 20th anniversary!

Through Together We Are Powerful we aim to bring the entire community together to share the stories that shape our collective identity. What’s more, we’re eager to hear what YOU envision for the Hub in the next 20 years, to help shape the Hub’s future future together!

We’re not just asking for objects!

We’re also opening up their main gallery space to YOU. Yes, that means YOU can be a part of this fantastic exhibition. Are you an individual with a brilliant idea? A business or an artist bursting with creativity? Or maybe you’re part of a community group with an exciting project in mind?

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, then we have a limited number of small budgets of £50-100 available to support your ideas and projects. Send us a short one-paragraph outline of your idea to exhibitions@hub-sleaford.org.uk by July 28 if you’d like to be considered.

Together we are Powerful is a co-curated project and the Hub has commissioned artist Kate Genever to support the process.

“What an experience it’s been seeing how people of Sleaford, when given the opportunity, generously share their ideas and get involved. Now I’m excited to see what objects and stories turn up - I know it will be totally powerful….”
