Join us on Sputnik Saturdays, Folio Fridays and WhatsApp

Online Groups and Folio Fridays

We have active artist groups on WhatsApp, where we can share work, spark collaborations and, of course, get nerdy about art. These are split up into specific disciplines: currently Musicians, Painters, Writers, Illustrators, Filmmakers and Interdisciplinary Artists.

The WhatsApp groups are where we organise Folio Fridays — online Zoom meet-ups three times a year, to share what we’re working on and put some faces to names! As of 2025, you need to be connected into WhatsApp to attend these. Fill in the form here to join WhatsApp (we will do a low-level check, primarily for security purposes).

Sputnik Saturday Events

Sputnik Saturdays are an in-person gathering in Birmingham, for all members of the Sputnik network to come together, share work, break bread, pray together and have meaningful chat. Everyone’s welcome! Try our Instagram page for an idea of what it’s like.

Both take place three times a year — see below for dates, alongside the Folio Fridays.
