This week’s opening hours
Tuesday 21st January - 2-6pm
Thursday 23rd January - 6-9pm
Friday 24th January - 12-2pm
(111 Queen Street, Cardiff)
In Summer 2024, we applied for a HYPHA residency and we were successful. This means we get an empty shop to create in, in the heart of our community.
This space is collaboratively curated and shared by two projects. PWSH and a yet to be named emerging Neurodiverse Arts Collective born out of creative wellness sessions for neurodivergent adults; Neurospicy Play Dates.
At the heart of bringing these two projects together in one space is meaningful inclusion, widening access to the arts and creative wellness for marginalised people. We always wanted to expand re-imagining public spaces beyond murals, and now we’re doing that within an empty shop, on one of Cardiff’s main shopping streets.
We are unfunded, so would massively appreciate any financial and material donations to help us, and our community, thrive in our new space.
Access Info / what to expect…
All gender and disabled loos.
Quiet space 🤫
A neurodivergent and inclusion-led space.
Fidget toys and earbuds (bring your own if you want!)
Please contact us if you feel anxious visiting our space for the first time - we can show you around before when we are closed, or we can body double with you. You can find us on Instagram.
We are an unfunded project led by volunteer artists so please make at least the minimum donation to contribute to our blossoming community.
