Up Close is a cultural initiative rooted in collective growth through intentional exchange, operating as a connector between people, spaces and disciplines.

Led and moderated by writer and cultural researcher Chloé Heyart, the platform brings people together to share knowledge, spotlight inspiring bodies of work and create a space where storytelling and inspiration take centre stage.

This takes shape and form through curated industry talks as well as community circles aimed at empowering individuals in their work and crafts.
