Melike is based in Istanbul, Turkey (originally born in Samsun in 1980), if I remember correctly, another artist told her about Cultivate and she got in touch, or was it us who made first contact with her having seen something on a social media feed? I really can’t remember now, I do know she has…
Spent the morning going through all the submissions so far from the next Mixtape show (well the one’s we hadn’t already responded to), had some good art in from a painter based in Cambridge today, and from an artist working in Brazil, I do keep saying we like the way this on-line shows take us…

Once again most of the artists will be directly invited but the open call element and hearing from artists we don’t know yet (or haven’t worked with for a bit) is very important. We’d like to hear…
Mixtape will open this Tuesday evening, Tuesday October 4th, another carefully curated group show, this time we’re joined by 38 invited artists making it a busy line up of 40 contemporary artists sharing space and hopefully cross-pollinating. It is very much a mixtape that we’ve made, a compilation tape of painters, printers, collage makers for…
