E17 Art Trail 2019: Wonder {of Art & Science}
1 - 16 June

An enormous thank you to all the artists, participants, festival partners and audience who made the E17 Art Trail 2019 so wonderful. An incredible 8,500 people created artworks and performances in the festival. Yet again the borough's residents proved that this really is a local phenomenon.
205 venues, from studios to schools, walls to windows, cafes to community centres, faith spaces to front rooms provided the spaces for audiences to marvel at the creativity on display, to get involved and to start conversations. Many of our creative community have been participating in the E17 Art Trail since we began. It has been the catalyst for emerging artists to develop a professional practice and it has been a privilege to have been part of them following their passion. We also take pride in how the opportunity to share work, get involved in activities and start conversations has ignited creativity or simply thrilled us to the joy that art can bring to the everyday.

As an established weaver with international and national exhibitions, collections and published pieces, the E17 Art Trail helped me visualise what I can do locally and be part of a community of creative thinkers again.     Rezia Wahid MBE

E17 Art Trail 

The E17 Art Trail 2017 took place 03 -18 June.  The local contribution to the programme was nothing short of epic. 7000 local people were creatively involved in preparing work for 230+ exhibitions and performances!! It was going to be an extraordinary 16 days in Walthamstow.

E17 Art Trail Idea Sparks Talks
In preparation for the next E17 Art Trail we 've held six lively monthly talks exploring our theme: STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics). And we're hoping to do more after the E17 Art Trail to continue discussing practice, collaboration and what we've discovered while respnding to the STEAM theme.

Each talk featured artists and experts in science, maths, geology, and other STEM disciplines. They were intended to inspire art trail participants to think about, generate and develop ideas based on STEAM topics in time to register exhibitions and events. The Idea Sparks Talks were free to attend, and attracted audeiences of between 60 and 120 people.

Thank you to Danny Coope for refreshing our E17 Art Trail logo.

Beans on Balconies
Making Space to Grow

Beans on Balconies is a neighbourhood network for local people living in and around Wood Street, E17, who enjoy making things, growing plants, cooking, sharing neighbourhood feasts and meeting people.  Funded until July 2017 we supported neighbours, especially people living in flats, to enjoy growing and sharing food and making ideas happen.  We enjoyed collaborating with residents, growing mentors, Kids Kitchen and resident designer-makers, creatives and artists to devise a programme for every generation to devise solutions and create opportunities to enjoy more access to fresh grown produce despite the limited access to growing space in our densely populated urban neighbourhood.  With money raised by Health Lives through the Health Lottery we were funded for seed and compost giveaways, designing and making sessions, neighbourhood feasts, frivolous challenges and practical growing advice.

Check our map to see if you, your friends, family or colleagues live in a Beans on Balconies neighbourhood.
