Camberwell Arts Festival

Just a week to go until Camberwell Arts Festival, which, much like the previous years, promises to be fun, inspiring and exciting.

Camberwell Arts Festival will be taking over Camberwell from Saturday 15th June.
The programme includes a huge range of performance artists, open house events, music, art pieces, installations, stand-up comedy and even a life drawing class on the number 12 bus! What a way to respond to this year's 'transported' theme.

The festival kicks off on Saturday 15th June from 12-6pm on Camberwell Green with an Art Picnic, a Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and a performace by Pangea. Later that night, it finishes up with a nod to all things vintage with the Palace of Varieties at the Recreation Ground from 7.30pm.

The Big Stitch Up
A major element of the opening event this year is the Big Stitch Up which had one key vision: create Camberwell's biggest picnic blanket and have a picnic on the Green. Extending itself into classrooms, local businesses, resident associations and many of SE5’s parks and open spaces, the project has exeeded expectations and boasts an international cast of creators from Ecuador to Japan and featuring over 100 contributors.

Using only recycled textiles, the blanket is a vibrant collage of styles, personalities and craftmanship. Featuring kaftan to kimono; velvet to vintage, the blanket will feature as part of the opening picnic on Saturday 15th June. Come down and join the participants as they reveal just how big it's become!

Colour Your Street
Turnpike Arts Group and Design for Change will be changing the look and the feel of Camberwell by celebrating its street furniture, increasing awareness of local issues and bringing the community together through arts. Re-using the existing street furniture at the Green to reflect the guerrilla art character of Camberwell, items such as lamp-posts, phone boxes and bollards will be adorned with chalk, templates and cable ties allowing residents to look again at the things they see every day on their journeys around the area.
