Open galleries, cafes, events, live art, free art, live music, film screening, life drawing class, DJs all day, textile techniques, Italian cheese, bloody marys, weiss beers, East End Bagels, print making, spray paint… all events are free entry (besides the life drawing, well the life model must be paid after all)….

At the various LIMEWHARF buildings, including their excellent new cafe (with the Toasters on the front), there will be all day DJs from 10am until 11pm, you’ll find a record sale, a screening of the the film “Hackney Captured – 50yrs From The Archive”, you’ll find live music, including Smitty’s Street Gang (wonder if they mean Smitty’s House band?)   4 COSE will be fueling you with the art of food, or the food of art, fueling you with their latest haul of Italian food in an art studio that’s sometimes a pop up food shop…

At CULTIVATE EVOLVED some of the gallery’s in-house artists will be creating things, others will just have their creativity on show, we don’t know what Julia will make…. “I shall be making paintings of pints of Guinness on First Saturday, they will cost you a pint of Guinness from the Victory, over the road… at some point I may paint a cheese roll or a bag of crisps” (says Sean Worrall), All Sean’s recent 2014 canvas pieces will be on sale for just £10 for the day, vinyl will also be being painted on all day.
