Claire Dorsett invites 8 artists to exhibit on her studio table, interrogating this piece of furniture, to challenge what an exhibition spaces artists can use to show their work. The exhibition acts like a buffet table at a family function: acknowledging the often awkwardness of Open Studio events for artists & the strength that can be found in numbers.

Rogue is the largest independent studio group in the Northwest with more than 85 artists working in 57,000 square feet of space at the former Varna Street school buildings in Openshaw.

Once a year, Rogue opens its doors to the public for its Open Studios event, inviting fellow artists, curators, and the general public to access all areas of the studios while affording members an opportunity to exhibit and offer work for sale.
