Leytonstone Arts Trail 2016


This will be the ninth Leytonstone Arts Trail!
Preview evenings on 30th June and 1st July will kick-off the Trail which runs 2-10 July 2016.

68 exhibitions, two full pages of events plus projects like the Gateposts Project.

You can flip through the guide soon on the website and in the meantime on the website you can read more about the artists and exhibitions.  When they are printed you'll be able to pick up a guide at the Stone Space Gallery, the Leytonstone Library, both near Leytonstone station, and many of the participating venues.

I will be participating in a few exhibitions and events:
I will have six to eight large paintings in the events room at the Heathcote Arms pub (you will pass it on the corner if you are walking from Leytonstone station to Norlington Road Studios.) My two paintings in the Waltham Forest Arts Club show at St John’s are a result of looking at gravitational waves a few years ago. I am working on some sculptures for that show as well; I am primarily a painter but often turn to sculpture when creating site specific work. I am making small acrylic paintings on paper from my Whole Picture series for the Art Grows on Trees in the churchyard. For the ‘Gateposts Project’ I will have a paper sculpture in a tree, some small art to take away and a pouch of flyers from my Have A Nice Day project (2004-ongoing) in the front garden of art lovers in Leytonstone.

The Whole Picture No. 4

Every year on the long, tree-lined pathway to Walthamstow Town Square in East London the trees will grow pieces of art to be picked!
Art Grows on Trees is one of Waltham Forest Arts Club's projects for the E17 Art Trail 2014.

My work for the project: this will be the fourth year I have continued this idea.
The Whole Picture No. 4
A painting project by Julie Caves
I created a 22x30in acrylic painting on paper and cut it into 30 pieces and marked on the back to show its place. They each make a nice artwork that can be framed.  Plus there is the possibility that sometime in the future all 30 recipients will get together and the pieces of the painting will be reunited and they can see the whole picture.

I am installing 10 of the 30 on each of the three Saturday mornings of the project - May 31, June 7 & 14.
