TESA Comes to Bolton · First Shoots

About this event

We Are Here - A Cultural Evening of Art, Music & Identity Something is beginning in Bolton. On Sunday 19th July, TESA - The Expression Studio by Àyòọba, opens its doors in Bolton for the first time, as a declaration that Bolton's African and diaspora community deserves a cultural space that was built specifically for them. A room that celebrates who they are, where they come from, and everything they are growing into. 'We Are Here' is the first chapter in a three-part summer series - an intimate evening of sip and paint, live artist showcase, cultural games, and an exhibition of the Àyòọba collection, rooted in Adire fabric and African heritage. The atmosphere will be warm, intentional, and unlike anything Bolton has seen before. Come ready to create something, hear something, feel something, and leave knowing you were part of the first night. This evening is for everyone who has ever walked into a room and wondered if there was space for them. There is. It was made for you. What's included: Guided Sip & Paint session Live artist showcase Cultural games zone Àyòọba collection exhibition Bloom Bar - African botanical drinks Welcome drink on arrival
