What’s On at MOTE
Welcome to MOTE’s programme of workshops, exhibitions, talks and community events exploring the connections between art, environment, sustainability and education.
As MOTE enters an exciting new chapter, we’re developing a vibrant programme that brings together artists, researchers, environmental organisations and local communities. Through creative experiences and meaningful conversations, we hope to inspire curiosity about the world around us and encourage positive environmental action.
Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, explore an exhibition, attend a talk, or simply connect with others who care about creativity and the environment, there’s something for everyone at MOTE.
Summer Saturdays at MOTE ☀️
