Historically, south London has
made a substantial contribution
to the London art scene. It gave
England its first purpose-built art
gallery at Dulwich, it housed the
world-renowned Crystal Palace
(an artistic power house) and
inspired the popular Sydenham
paintings of French Impressionist
Camille Pissarro. This exhibition
will demonstrate that Sydenham
and Forest Hill truly deserve the
label “creative quarter”. Twelve
established and emerging artists
have joined forces to prove the
point: Elizabeth Chisholm,
Yasemen Hussein, Una Joy,
Jo Lewis, Rebecca Molloy, Sarah
Perry, Alain Speed, Pippa Stacey,
Alan Taylor-Russell, Paul Treacy,
Pip Tunstill and Ella Webb.
Art is not only thriving here, it is
a force to be reckoned with.
