Thrilled to be curating two exhibition programmes for Spitalfields Studios, celebrating the creativity of our in~house artist community here in East London. The shows will animate walls, stairwells, corridors and balconies across our building, with artworks spilling out of the studios and into our shared and public spaces, and beyond.
SPRING CLEAN
Opening Night: Thursday 3 May 2018, 6 ~ 9pm
In the spirit of ‘spring clean’, the artists of Spitalfields Studios are re~enlivening their building, with a showcase of painting, printmaking, photography and installation. Join us at the opening night for live music, refreshments, and the opportunity to buy bespoke products from Spitalfields Studios makers.
POST CARDS + OPEN STUDIOS
Opening Night: Thursday 4 October 2018, 6 ~ 9pm
Bringing all 23 studio artists together, this exhibition showcases our series of original postcards, with accompanying stories, poems and reflections.
