Sarabande was set up by the late designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who left the majority of his estate to support creative and visionary talent. Lee passionately believed that creative minds with the potential to push boundaries should be given the same opportunities he’d enjoyed. The genesis of all McQueen’s achievements was his open-minded approach to absorbing diverse creative influences and applying them in new and exciting ways. It is that openness and bravery that Sarabande seeks to inspire in future generations of creatives.
In addition to providing scholarships and studio space for artists, Sarabande produces a number of events, from the practical to the inspirational.
We bring you a list of workshops you can find offline and/or online this February!
