On 2nd  June, Chisenhale Art Place took part in the Big Lunch Street Party, which was held on Chisenhale Road.

With the sun thankfully shining, the tables decked with delicious treats and the beautiful bunting breezily swaying above, everyone enjoyed the festivities.

Chisenhale Art Place collectively provided lots of art activities to the party.

The Dance Space had a dance class on offer and the Gallery showcased a film from their last year’s summer project, ‘Slow Boat’.  Three artists from the Studios engaged residents in various activities on the street – Kate Hardy and Emma Gunningham with an array of materials for those who were willing to try their hands, and Richard Layzell filmed an alternative view of the day’s events.  In addition, there was a scroll of drawing paper rolled out for everyone to record the highlights of the street party, which will then be displayed at Chisenhale School Summer Fete, much like the ‘Walthamstow Tapestry’.  We look forward to next year!
