Who AM I? Exhibition

‘WHO AM I?’

A group exhibition by Disabled artists from The Orpheus Centre.

‘Who Am I?’ is a group exhibition by Disabled Orpheus artists. These artworks explore identity and belonging. The pieces show what is important to the artists, what they are proud of, and who they are.

The Orpheus Centre is a specialist college based in Godstone, working to support young Disabled adults, who are passionate about the arts, to achieve their potential and work towards a more independent life.

Set up by musician and songwriter Sir Richard Stilgoe, Orpheus offers personalised study, supported housing and personal care all on the same site.

Students are aged 18-25 and during their three years of study at Orpheus, they develop their creativity, gain formal qualifications, and learn independence, life and employability skills for the future.

Meet the Artists on the 2nd December from 12:30 to 2:00pm.

‘Flat Life’ Tom Mead
Jan
23
to 26 Feb

‘Flat Life’ Tom Mead

Flat Life displays the process Mead has developed, harkening back to a childhood obsession with miniatures, stop-motion, and cardboard construction. Crude sets are created, with printed cut outs of figures and objects. These scenes are then painted to blur the distinction between scale, flatness, realism and space.

Join us for the opening reception Friday 23rd January 7-9pm.

Tickets

Tom Mead, (b.1997) is a figurative Artist, living in London. 

Mead’s work is an ongoing exploration of existentialism and saudade through the lens of working class adulthood. Visuals and ideology from naïve childhood find themselves in flux with a truer view of life through adulthood, where juxtaposing fears, dreams and responsibilities are combined with uncertain barriers. This marriage of influences creates uncanny imagery that leaves the viewer with a melancholy sense of nostalgia; the feeling of time slipping by and control being lost, a reminder of innocence and the nauseating feeling that comes with acknowledging its loss or corruption.

Mead's work has been exhibited and sold internationally. He won the London Graphic Centre Prize in 2023, and has been shortlisted for prestigious exhibitions including Cass Art, Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize and Jacksons. Mead was a finalist of SkyArts Portrait Artist of the Year 2019 and in 2024 was made a member of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters.

Coffee & Mindfulness

Guildford Coffee Club

This Month: We're Slowing Down (But Make It Fun)

Alright, so after cupping with Bells Beans, sensory training with Cannon Roasters, and brewing experiments with Kota Coffee... we thought, what if we just... experienced coffee differently for a bit?

This month we're trying something new: Coffee & Mindfulness

What to expect: We'll be exploring coffee through a different lens - starting with a simple meditation, diving into some fascinating science about what coffee does for your body, practicing mindful tasting, and finishing with a bit of coffee fortune reading (yes, really! ). Plus homemade tiramisu, of course .

I'm keeping the coffee origin a secret until the end, because where's the fun without a little mystery?

This will feel different from our usual sessions. Less "let's compare coffees," more "let's actually just sit with this moment." It's a chance to experience coffee in a whole new way - one that's equal parts contemplative and community-focused.

Think of it as adding a new tool to your coffee toolkit. A way to connect with your cup that you might not have tried before.

If you're curious and up for something new, we'd love to have you there. It should be a lovely, grounding evening with good coffee and good people.
