Art for Kids, Broadway Market, Hackney, December 16th

[NotQuiteCockney]

A friend is organising an art show, with a charity bring and buy sale, at a gallery in Hackney's Broadway Market. I expect it will be great fun. (If you want to donate anything for the bring and buy, let me know, and I'll get you details of where to drop - it's pretty easy.)

I quote from the brochure, below:

ART FOR KIDS

Come and be amazed! An exhibition of work by local artists for kids of all ages:

a monster made out of air

dancing skeleton

mouse cathedral

wobbly art

the worlds biggest balloon (maybe)

a nearly genuine dinosaur's tail

giant snakes and ladders

'Wear It' art

and crazy cornflakes

16th December 2006 10 - 4.30pm (one day only)

Ada Street Gallery, 2a Ada Street, E8 4QU

(off Broadway Market, behind the fish and chip shop)

Book reading at 11am - 'The book of Snot' by Staffan Gnosspelius

The gallery stall will be selling gifts, cards, books, second hand toys and children's clothes, warm apple juice and mulled wine to support local causes.

just bumping as it looks interesting..no where near me but must be near tohers! p

There are loads of NE london MNers, but I bet none of them have seen this ...

sounds good. um, is 16th next sat? are you better nqc?

Yeah, the 16th is next Saturday - not tomorrow, but a week from tomorrow.

I'm feeling a bit better. On the mend, anyway. Doing basically nothing for a day definately helped.

This sounds great, We are definetely coming along. I think there is also a Fair by the South Bank on that day, but this sounds like fun and it is close to the house in case ds has a meltdown. Does anybody know if the Museum of Childhood has opened?

Would have loved to come, but we moved away from the area earlier this year. But a friend mentioned to me that the Museum of Childhood was having a grand re-opening again this w/e, although she did say that having gone past on the bus a week ago, it looked like there was a lot of work left to do in a week!

Oh, Museum of Childhood is definately back open, DH took DS1 this weekend. Apparently the front has changed a bit, and the rest is still pretty much the same. He was miffed it hadn't changed more, but I'm happy - I liked it as it was, really. Particularly the sand pit.

Re: Saturday. If you're there in the early part of the day and there is an American-sounding woman with glasses and v v short hair behind the counter, you might want to make the sign of the bat at her ... if you can work out how to make one, I mean ...

Bumping, just because.
