News and Updates
Attention all local artists!
As part of the Black History Month celebrations Redbridge Libraries would like to shine a light on a local artist by giving them the opportunity to display their work in Wanstead Library or Redbridge Central Library, one of the biggest libraries in London. With 500+ visitors a day, this is a great opportunity for you to get your name out there and for people to see your work!
The theme of your artwork should be ‘Black & British’. If you are interested please email hubcentral@visionrcl.org.uk to introduce yourself and give a description/ sample of your artwork.
Closing date: 20 August 2019
