Sarabande Foundation Group Show
The Sarabande foundation 2024 Summer Group Show is here!
The two part exhibition that should be on everyone’s radar this summer!
This year the exhibition is divided into two distinct parts, highlighting the work of 20 resident artists from Sarabande’s studios in Haggerston and Tottenham.
Over six weeks, the artists will present their interpretations of A Place, reflecting their time and growth at the Foundation.
The first exhibition, "Can I just…", runs from August 1st to August 16th, with a Private View on Thursday, August 1st, from 6pm to 8pm.
The second part, "…stay longer", runs from August 21st to September 6th, with a closing event on Thursday, September 5th, from 6pm to 8pm.
Exhibition hours are 10am to 6pm, Monday through Sunday, with extended hours until 8pm every Thursday.
For the 20 artists currently in residence at Sarabande’s studios in Haggerston and Tottenham, A Place represents the culmination of their creative journeys at the Foundation. Visitors will be treated to a diverse array of works, including jewellery, woodwork, paintings, sculptures, and more. Each piece represents the artists' unique responses to the brief, exploring the ambiguities and possibilities of transitional, and sometimes uncomfortable, spaces. Expect to see bold new works, such as delicate photographs on leaves, 'stained glass' sugar sculptures, and intricate hand carvings.
Visit the Sarabande Foundation to experience the culmination of these artists' journeys and witness the incredible creativity of Sarabande artists.

Paddle Boarding - Kew Bridge
What better way to enjoy a summer's day or evening than on a stand-up paddle board (although you can sit, you don’t have to stand). Active 360 have several locations in London, the original being Kew Bridge.
Situated under the arches of a historic bridge (built in 1903), this base is their environmental hub located conveniently on the water’s edge and offering unique views of London. You can learn paddleboarding skills and how to use the Thames Tideway safely. Plus there are changing facilities and showers available so you can go on to another fun activity straight after.
