CULTIVATE VYNER STREET PRESS RELEASE - NOVEMBER 2011
FREE ART THURSDAY...
Free Art Thursday on the street outside of Cultivate, come leave some free art, come get some free art.
Free Art Thursday will happen on Thursday afternoon/evening, November 17th, at, in and around Cultivate Vyner Street.
Cultivate is an artist run space, we've planted our flag right in the middle of the East London establishment art road that in Vyner Steer. This is not an accidental planting, rather than joining in with the continual humming note of artist moan about how they're treated by London galleries, a small group of us thought we'd go on to 'their' patch and do it ourselves. Thought we'd find out first hand about the reality of running a space as a functioning commercial gallery. We've survived two and a half months and a number of rather successful shows so far including the Wahat Prive Art event where buyers set the price, the 22 hours event that saw is take over the place, empty it out of al lthe junk, paint the walls and get a packed group show open for September First Thursday with 22 hours notice...
"Cultivate is fast becoming the First Thursday place to be, right on the corner in the middle on Vyner Street, the recent Red and Something Borrowed shows were a triumph" (Resonance FM)
Cultivate will be open late on Thursday 17th November for the current two week "Sean Worrall - Paintings" show, other galleries in the street have openings/private views on on the night of the 17th, Set Aymot has an interesting looking show at Gallery Twenty One, just over the road from Cultivate), Sean is well known for leaving bits of art on the street, in the trees, on buses, trains - painted pieces of vinyl, canvas pieces. A number of other artists have been joining in outside the door and on the window ledges of Cultivate in recent weeks and so... let's get it a little more organised with the first of what we hope will be several events called FREE ART THURSDAY
This Thursday we'll have art left outside Cultivate (or just inside if the weather is bad) as well as around the street near the gallery. Artists are encouraged to come join in and leave pieces, people will be encouraged to come take a piece (no more than a piece each please, don't grab it all, leave some for others), Sean will be leaving a load of painted pieces of cardboard, canvas, vinyl (records) and such, we'll announce other artists involved as they declare themselves part of the event, we'll start at 5pm and carry on until 9pm or later if we need to (anything left over we'll cleaned up and we'll give away the next day or over the weekend at the gallery).
We have about 20 other artists confirmed now, the list is growing by the hour as the word spreads... watch the websites and facebook pages for updates...
Come join in...
