Looking for local artists for an art exhibition- Saturday 27 September

JessicaN8

Hi everyone, As part of the Harringay Block Party, a new food music and art festival in N4, we are organising an art exhibition on Saturday 27 September from noon till 6pm. We are still looking for local artists to be part of the already exciting list of artists already taking part in this. We see the participation of local artists as being the foundation for this ’party’ to become an annual event. In Haringey, we are surrounded by a huge, burgeoning, but as yet under-appreciated artistic community. From the many resident artists dotted around the neighbourhood to the live/work warehouses around Overbury and Fountayne Roads, to the Euroart Studios, Chocolate Factory and Turnpike Lane Art group, we are blessed in this area. Our aim is to make this event a showcase for the talent and skills of those in the area. But within this, we want to stress the idea of it being an opportunity for residents to BUY art. It will be an opportunity through which the broader community can begin to actively value and support local artists. An opportunity to engage with both the artists and the concept of buying art, not from a gallery, but from an individual… a member of their community. A sub-theme of this is to promote these concepts to the children of the area. We would like to provide the opportunity for kids of any age to buy their “first piece”. To select, buy, and treasure a piece of local art. A tangible reminder of their link to the community. We are open to all types of artistic media and would welcome any interested artists to get in touch to discuss the possibility of joining us on the day. Get in touch: harringayblockparty@gmail.com We will have live music and plenty of good food on the day! Join us, and bring all your friends to our Block Party.
