Hello and welcome to
the 2019 Highams Park
Art)Trail!
In a year when Waltham Forest is hosting the first London Borough
of Culture, the ARC team are excited to be bringing you this year's
Highams Park Art trail. Packed with lots of great work by local artists
and the Wild About Highams Park animal sculpture trail this year
we are looking at nature and celebrating how lucky we are to be
so close to the forest. There are also lots of great events lined up for
you to enjoy, the week kicks off with the Vintage Market at Hale End
Library, with vintage stalls and books signings, kids activities and
music from Harmony E4 Choir. During the week of the Art Trail you
will be able to visit artists studios, listen to live bands at Highams
Park live, hear poetry being read whilst sipping wine, make a clay
pot, dance to ABBA and see the Regal lit up with neon signs.
The week will finish with the Spring Festival in The Highams Park (by
the lake) on Sunday 19th May, where there will be Maypole dancing,
craft stalls, kids activities, and much more.
The ARC team are all volunteers from the Highams Park Planning
Group and give their time freely because we see the value in
creating and celebrating arts and culture, bringing people together
and celebrating this unique community.
We would like to thank all the artists and creatives who have taken
the time to get involved and all the shops and businesses that have
given space and time to exhibit work or host events. We literally
couldn’t do it with out you!
So we hope you enjoy this years trail, If you would like to get involved
in the next one, you can contact us at arc.highamspark@gmail.com
