Whether you’ve been part of Spike Island for decades or are visiting for the first time, this milestone celebration brings together artists, audiences and supporters to celebrate the people, ideas and creative energy that continue to shape Spike Island today.

As night falls, the gallery transforms into a dancefloor for a late-night celebration reflecting Spike Island’s spirit of experimentation, exchange and collective celebration.
