Allpress Espresso is celebrating five years since opening their Studio doors; a place to support artists, designers, makers and community-minded groups.

Running from 1 August to 14 September, Allpress will host an exhibition titled ‘100 Artists’, to celebrate and acknowledge the creators who have shared their work in the space since its inception.

The six-week showcase will feature 35 selected artists, a range of community events and talks, and a limited-edition Allpress coffee, ‘100 Artists Blend’.
