Visual Arts 〰️
Our space was born for arts.
We welcome artists of different backgrounds, countries, and stories. As curators, we want to celebrate Folkestone-based artists of international prominence. With our growing school outreach programme we want to support young artists in the developing years of their journey.
Upstairs at kollectiv, local artists find space to show their work at monthly-changing Artist of the Month wall.
Our 2025 programme includes work from Terry Perk, Folkestone College, Chelsey Browne, Vanessa Winship, Rubiane Maia, Navied Mahdavian, and Tapped In.
LATER AFTER IMAGES OR BETWEEN
The Green Room was home to “The Photo-Diaries of Mick Williamson” exhibition with the screening of a documentary about Folkestone-based photographer Mick Williamson.
kollectiv presented the solo show “Seven Ages of Woman” by Folkestone-based photographer Mayotte Magnus whose images of 100 prominent British women was commissioned by the NPG in 1977.
We were the hub of Open Art Folke - the first fully artist-led festival bringing together artists from Creative Quarter and beyond, as well as Canterbury College students with “Waste” - a project exploring the effects of waste on our daily lives. This show was accompanied by a series of events including a talk by Daniel Welsh from Folkestone and Hythe District Council and papermaking workshop with local artist, Deborah Crofts.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
