Art Assembly 2019

Art Assembly is a one-day festival brought to you by Art Fund and Waltham Forest, the first London Borough of Culture.

This November join Art Fund members, arts sector professionals and artists for a dynamic public programme of workshops, talks, music and performances, and experience first-hand the role that art plays in social issues facing communities.

Stay tuned for announcements and updates to the programme.

Where?

Art Assembly will take over spaces in the heart of Walthamstow, all within walking distance from the event hub, the William Morris Gallery.

During the festival visitors will also be able to see the gallery’s exhibition Pioneers: William Morris and the Bauhaus, which shows objects made at the Bauhaus side by side with objects from the Arts and Crafts movement for the first time. This exciting project was made possible by an Art Happens crowdfunding campaign.

Below you'll find details of partners, locations and further information about Art Assembly over the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear more.
