Katie is an artist-leader who supports artists to develop creative projects that serve them and their communities. Working in a neuro-affirming, strengths-based way, she is the founder of neurodiversity charity Starling CIO and co-founder of Almia CIC, a 'performance art-ivist' project working for queer play, joy and liberation.

There will also be lots of opportunities to chat with fellow artists and creatives from across Tameside, along with the network’s usual sharing of creative resources, notices, and news from Tameside and beyond, so feel free to bring any news of your latest projects or activities to share! Refreshments will be provided.
To find the ground floor studio space: once in the Woodend Mill main car park, walk down the tunnel between the 2 mills and you will arrive at the River Take. Turn left and walk to the studio back door, it is a few meters from the door to the Woodend Mill cafe.
The venue has ample free parking and step free access. If you have any questions please email Hannah.Alwan-Weston@tameside.gov.uk
