CULTIVATE presents Explore - A Group Show.
Up next from Cultivate in terms of physical art shows is another long weekend take over of the glorious DIY space that is Free The Gallery over in Crystal Palace, London SE19 3AN.
The exhibition/event, Explore, will run from the evening of Friday April 10th until Sunday April 12th.
Entry is free, everyone is welcome, no need to get on lists and all that nonsense
The beautiful space isn't going to be to everyone's taste, we are NOT talking formal white cubes here, this is a link to photos of the last time Cultivate took over the space in the Summer of 2024 - https://wp.me/p2ScbB-rYs - personally I loved the feel of Free The Gallery, the space is in a building that is pretty much falling down in a yard full of junk stalls and vintage clothing/antique/vinyl dealers and on Saturdays a busy alternative food market. You can read and see more via that link I just gave you...
Our plan is to hang a show on the Friday afternoon and then open that evening with a semi-formal exhibition, the opening night will run from 6pm until 8pm, an opening night on the Friday, Organ DJs and such, The exhibition will then run 11am until 4pm on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
On Saturday, while the exhibition is on the walls, we'll run an art market indoors in the space between 11am and 4pm while all all the other things happening outside the with the markets in the yard and the record stalls and such in other parts of the building. The group show will carry on on Sunday
The event happens at Free The Gallery is down the hill at Haynes Lane, Crystal Palace, London, SE19 3AN.
