CCA/Peter Blake Art Bus at The Lord Mayor's Parade

We had the best time, despite the weather, on the CCA Art Bus. Unfortunately Sir Peter Blake was poorly but his wife Chrissy and the crew from CCA Galleries sang along to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as we waved to thousands of spectators who lined the route. It was a very special day seeing the streets of London's City from such a different perspective. If you want to see us you can on the BBC link; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00nxkdj/The_Lord_Mayors_Show_2009/?t=34m48s

Allotment

UCLH Arts and TAG Fine Arts are proud to present
Allotment, an exciting new group exhibition at The Street Gallery, University College Hospital.
Following on from the success of previous shows SNAP and Black Light, artist Adam Bridgland and UCLH Arts Curator Guy Noble, have collaborated with TAG Fine Arts and brought together twenty-three artists to each create a new wall based work in response to the term 'Allotment'. A full list of artists included in the exhibition is listed below.
All twenty-three practitioners are gaining widespread recognition within the art and design world and exhibit internationally. Many are part of major art collections in the UK and abroad. All the artists produce very different work and their approach to the subject has created a diverse exhibition of works. For a term that could be deemed quintessentially 'English', the exhibition has a cosmopolitan feel. Painting, printmaking, photography, drawing and collage will be showcased. The work will be for sale, with thirty percent going to the UCLH Arts fund to ensure the future development of UCLH Arts projects for the benefit of hospital patients. Participating artists include; Adam Bridgland, Sarah Bridgland, Andrew Curtis, Erica Donovan, Lloyd Durling, Robin Duttson, Lucy Gough, Matthew Green, Claas Gutsche, Mark Hampson, Adam Hayes, Fiona Hepburn, Katherine Jones, Jack Kettlewell, Kwai Lau, Gary Mcdonald, Edd Pearman, Suzy Q and The Owls, Giulia Resteghini, Rob Ryan, Bronwen Sleigh, Ceal Warnants and Katsutoshi Yuasa
FREE Admission.
Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Exhibition runs 11th September – 9th November 2009
