The 3am Project
Have you taken a trip to our nocturnal wonderland yet?
Visit our 3am project gallery and journey into a world of creativity inspired by dream states and witching hour wonder.
In May 2021, we launched a brief around the theme of 3am, inspired by a letter from Frank Baker to his love Isabel. We invited words and artworks inspired by this middle of the night moment and were overwhelmed by the response receiving over 500 entries from the UK and around the world!
