Summer Takeover

Sunday 11 September, 2.00 – 4.30pm 

Join us to celebrate our annual Summer Takeover, an afternoon of free, fun artist-led activities at Camden Arts Centre in the Ceramics and Drawing Studios, Garden and Galleries.

Taking inspiration from the current exhibition Making & Unmaking curated by Duro Olowu, we have invited artists Shepherd Manyika, Francesca Anfossi and Joceline Howe to unravel some of the ideas, techniques and processes found within the show. In addition artist collective Handle will lead an alternative tour of the exhibition.

This event is free and suitable for all ages. Fully accessible toilets and baby changing facilities are located on the ground floor. CAC is wheelchair accessible. Disabled parking is limited so please contact us to book a space.

Our Café will be serving hot food and drinks all day.
