E17 Art Trail 6-14 September 08
From the 6th to the 14th of September the E17 Art Trail is back and bigger than ever.
9 days, 138 events and exhibitions in 86 venues all across Walthamstow.
Spaces all over town are be hosting free events with the work of hundreds of local artists on display. Pick up a map and explore.
Visit www.e17arttrail.co.uk for a full events listing.
Highlights include:
Art will be literally hanging ripe to pick from the trees, find rock stars (or at least their photographs) in the Grove Cafe, designers marketing their wares at the Vestry House, a cocktail party at Inky Cuttlefish Studios and a DIY craft night by the East London Craft Guerilla’s.
Sun 14th - Art, Buses, Trains, Cars and Fire engines at the Pump House Museum (a rare chance to visit while its being restored). They’ll have a Bouncy Castle and other Fun attractions for the family. Hot/Cold drinks and snacks in the canteen and BBQ weather permitting. There will also be exhibits by local artists.
Two exhibitions celebrate Walthamstow Dogs and campaign to stop developers turing it into tower blocks. Katherine Green documents the “Last Days at the Dogs”, while the Laurence family have apparently covered the exterior of their house with racing greyhounds for the weekend!
Antiscrap asked artists to give vent to their feelings about the state of the Borough. Celebrating life here, where all the cinemas are closed, there is no arts centre, the theatre is going to be demolished along with all the public toilets, tower blocks are foisted upon the community and library books are burnt, even the dog track is going to the dogs, but on the bright side we do get a giant public television screen.
