Next weekend is the launch of #ChesterContemporary. There is lots of activity across the city as installations come together! Ryan Gander has curated a fascinatingly eclectic programme of stunning works from international and emerging artists for his native city of Chester.

Calling all GFNrs and ventures we've helped! We're 10 years old and we'd love you to celebrate with us 🥳 Thurs 16 Nov Commonhall Social RSVP here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/gfn-chesters…

And have you heard we’re 10yrs old? We have an extra special birthday party planned for GFNrs so check your emails (we’ve sent a few) and sign up 🥳

Have you heard we’re having a party? The theme is Connection and our first speaker is co-founder of Fallen Angels 💜, Claire Morris. She believes creativity & arts participation is a human right, and they support people to share their recovery journey through dance & performance❤️

Our 2nd birthday talk comes from a firm favourite in the city's street performance scene, known to many as Mr Pee Wee! Dave Southern now runs a project called Pavementology which celebrates the unique and often undervalued art form of street performance 🎭

Our next speaker is a key changemaker across the city. Tony Swindells is passionate about shaping the future of Chester & shares our belief that creativity is at the heart of its future success. Tony has co-founded an exciting addition to our high street, ŌH Design Foundation.

A GFNr from Day Dot, our final speaker Tom has been quoted in many a talk as saying "If you want to live in an interesting place, then you must contribute to it". And as co-founder of The Natural Veg Men, @9mealsanarchy & Murmurations, he has definitely done that.

Here is the final lineup for our 10th birthday party! Joining Uná and 🌱Holly Ffi 🌳 is an epic changemaker collective doing good in our city and ready to tell us about it. But WHO the heckins is our magnificent mystery guest✏️? (All will be revealed on here tomorrow! 🥁)

So who is our magnificent mystery guest? With just T-24hrs to go we're thrilled that one of Chester Contemporary's artists (the man behind the tiny clown bike!) is joining us create his now infamous 'No Look' Portraits. Tim Foxon. A force for good. #IlloveChetser #MakeChester

3 nights ago we celebrated our 10th birthday & we’ve only just come back down to earth ❤️ The loft Commonhall Social was bursting with the enegry of GFNrs old and new, listening & connecting over ideas that #makechester a great place to live, learn, work & play. HUGE thanks to all 🚀

The one where Tim Foxon drew GFN. Tim is one of the Chester contemporary artists & we had so much fun creating our ‘No Look’ portraits at our 10th birthday celebrations. We will be revealing some of the Picasso-esque portraits we came across in the coming days - guess who!
