Blackhorse Lane Open Studios and Art in the Corridor
Blackhorse Lane Open Studios in London is staging 'Art in the Corridor' this September - a three day event when over 30 international artists open their private studios to the public.
Featuring painting, sculpture, installation, ceramics, animation, photography and book arts, the annual exhibition at the studios in Blackhorse Lane is free and open to everyone from Friday 3 September.
Michelle Reader, one of the artists at the event, said: "The point about Walthamstow now is that it's packed with contemporary artists. I suppose they get much more for their money than they might in the once popular art spaces of Shoreditch, Hackney or Hoxton. So they've moved in here..."
The Open Studios event is timed to run alongside Walthamstow's E17 Art Trail, run by artists every September.
Spokesperson Mark Wainwright said: "This is your chance to meet artists in their work environments, get insights into how and what they create, and even take home a work of art. Engage in one of the most exciting aspects of contemporary art by discussing art with the artists themselves. Stop by and enjoy, be inspired and perhaps challenged at this friendly, relaxed event."
Mark added: "It is also a good opportunity to purchase original works at pre-gallery prices! Visitors will have the chance to buy an artwork by a Blackhorse Lane artist at a low price in Art In The Corridor, with 15% going to the Barbican Arts Group Trust for the ArtWorks Public Programme. A week before the event photos and details of the £40+ sale will be available on the Blackhorse Lane website."
