Concept

As a former railway station, The Hub has a history of connection. Today this repurposed creative space is a platform for the community to connect through creative expression, storytelling and ideas. ‘It’s a small world’ is a phrase often used to describe the connection points between people and events around the world. Through globalisation our world is becoming ever smaller – for better or for worse. The Hub invited artists to explore this theme by sharing their insights into what a small world means to them. For our visitors we hope to create space to stop, reflect and focus on small things that can inspire big ideas.
