26 July – 11 September 2021

Join a free programme of arts activities taking place on Chisenhale Road this Summer. Set to inspire people of all ages and abilities to move, play and create. You can explore your imagination and experience family art activities, creative workshops, dance classes and live performances.

This will all take place in the Chisenhale Learn + Play + Create outdoor playground. A new space established by the Chisenhale Primary PTA as a temporary response to the pandemic.

The programme is a collaboration between Chisenhale Studios, Chisenhale Gallery and Chisenhale Dance Space, alongside the V&A Museum of Childhood and the Chisenhale Primary School’s PTA. The Summer of Art will create opportunities for play, inspire creativity and proactively bring together residents of Bow.
