The leafy street of Josephine Avenue is set to transform into an open-air gallery this summer as Urban Art 2024 returns on the 13th and 14th of July. Celebrating its 22nd year, this much-anticipated event will showcase a diverse array of artistic talent, featuring works from painters, photographers, printmakers, and mixed media artists. Open 10am to 6pm both days. Free entry.
With over a 120 artists hanging their work and thousands of pieces for sale, Urban Art 2024 promises to be an unforgettable weekend filled with creativity, community spirit, and charitable giving. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to explore and purchase original artworks displayed along the railings of Josephine Avenue. This is a rare chance to acquire affordable art pieces directly from the artists themselves, making it an ideal event for collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
Urban Art 2024 not only provides a platform for artists to exhibit their work but also fosters a sense of community by raising funds for local good cause: the Anchor Project, Southside Rehabilitation Project, Holy Trinity School and Jubilee Primary School. 10% of all sales will go to these event charity partners. This year’s event aims to make a meaningful impact on Brixton’s social initiatives, continuing the tradition of giving back to the neighbourhood.
Whether you’re an art aficionado or simply looking for a delightful weekend activity, Urban Art 2024 offers something for everyone. Enjoy the lively atmosphere, meet talented artists, and perhaps take home a piece of art that speaks to you – all while supporting a worthy cause.
