About The Space

Fourth Wall Folkestone CIC is a creative space focused on all things art and mental health. It is open to all as a non-traditional gallery, open studio, and research space.

By holding accessible events and exhibitions, we invite the local community to reimagine the role of art in society as a tool to effect change.

We’d Specifically Like to Receive Proposals for Exhibitions which speak to one or more of these points:

• Has play, experimentation, research, learning, development and innovation at the forefront.
• Involves an element of gentle, disruptive activism which aims to create change, particularly within the mental healthcare system.
• Amplifies the voices of those with lived experience in the themes present.
• Has an element of community co-production involved.
• Explores the power and privilege we each hold for positive systemic change.

Costs

Fourth Wall Folkestone is a Community Interest Company and not for profit, with all money raised going back into the running of the space and to help with providing accessible events for the local community.

For this exhibition the gallery is available on a donation/ pay-what-you-can basis.

While we are not able to offer the space for free, we are always happy to have an open conversation about costs in order to make it workable for all involved. While this isn’t possible to have with every applicant due to our limited resources, we can arrange a chat for shortlisted proposals.

See more information about our costs in the link below. Please note that these are our total running costs for the space and not a set “hire fee”.
