Celebration of Community Creatives
Thursday 29 October 2026 · 6:00pm–10:00pm
ArtWorks East, 32–34 Osier Way, London E10 5SB
Join us for a vibrant Black History Month celebration of African and Caribbean artists, creativity and community in East London.
This is more than an exhibition. Alongside the art, music and celebration, we are creating space to really get to know the artists, hear more about their practices and build meaningful creative connections.
Artist networking, talks & collaborative sessions
The evening will include artist talks, skills-sharing and collaborative sessions, giving artists, creatives and guests the opportunity to share knowledge, discover what people are working on and explore creative projects they could get involved in together.
Creative Networking Dinner · 5:30pm–6:30pm
Want to connect more deeply with the artists and creative community? Add our Creative Networking Dinner to any event ticket for just £7 instead of £12.
Choose from curry fish, curry chicken or curry vegetable with rice. Food will be served from 5:30pm–6:30pm at ArtWorks East, creating an informal space to meet artists, exchange ideas and get into potential collaborations before and during the evening.
