Recoverist Curators: Hands-On Hockney Workshop

14 Apr 2026
11 - 1 pm

Inspired by still life painting Two apples, one lemon, and four flowers by David Hockney – featured in the Recoverist Curators exhibition – this family friendly art workshop is a fun way to get creative during the Easter break. Using collage, oil pastels and paint, families can get messy whilst exploring Hockney’s work. 

Facilitated by Recoverist Curator Anastasia, who chose this piece stating: “I love the simplicity. For me, it is an expression of the joy of recovery… I have fresh flowers in my home, eat well, and celebrate the ordinariness of everyday.”

Join us to find joy in the everyday. 

Recoverist Culture Fix is our programme of regular, specially curated cultural events for individuals in recovery from substance use. Recoverist Culture Fix is a chance to meet like-minded people, make friends and enjoy a rich cultural experience in Greater Manchester.

Our aim is to empower those in recovery by fostering cultural participation, demystifying contemporary art, and amplifying the voices of an often marginalised community. Through culture we empower a stigmatised community to drive systemic change.
