Write a review
The festival board are looking for budding journalists over the next week to come down and review the festival as it happens. If you’ve got your eye on one of the events or plan to attend a few, then why not write us a short review which will then feature in a post-festival guide later on this year? It’s a great way to get involved and to dust off that note book and pencil. For further information please contact our Festival Director at the follwing email address kelly....@camberwellarts.org

One of the firm favourites of the festival is the Lucky Dip. Artists are given a month and a limited budget to create site specific pieces that remain throughout the festival. Make sure you explore the following locations for some amazing art: Denmark Hill bus conductors’ kiosk; Hermit’s Cave blackboard; Love Walk; St Giles Churchyard; Orpheus Street; Daneville Road; Lucas Gardens rockery; Myatt’s Fields Park and Rainbow Street.

One day to go...
So here we are: one day away from the start of the Camberwell Arts Festival 2013. After months of planning, drawing together 19 venues, the submissions of over 110 artists, and the programming of over 36 special events, the festival is ready to go and kicks off in the best way possible with a huge event on Camberwell Green this Saturday.
The fun starts from 12pm with the Art Picnic featuring cake, conversation and Camberwell’s biggest picnic rug. There’ll be the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party with Cool Tan Arts and Pangea and a piece by Turnpike Art Group and Design for Social Change as they take to the streets and transform the street furniture around them. The launch event then finishes up at the Recreation Ground for the Palace of Varieties performance from 7.30pm.

The Festival continues throughout the week in and around Camberwell with some amazing events and installations. Tuesday 18th June sees Bespoke Life Drawing on a Bus, a chance to try out your drawing skills on the No.12.
Running all week we have a programme of events at the newly opened Crypt of St Giles Church featuring Jazz Live and an installation by Arabella Lee and Pauline Thomas called Full Circle. Also running all week we have art being displayed in the local bus stops as Sarah Doyle, Steven Appleby and Alice Roche respond to our Transported
theme. There are two great pieces of audio artwork as Steph Singer's Salon Secrets gives out all the gossip via the medium of a 1950s hooded hairdryer located in Raffles Hair Salon and the mysterious Where the Hell is the Camberwell Beauty? inspired by our famous migrant butterfly takes place on Friday 21st at 8pm.
The Festival then closes on Sunday 23rd June with the much loved Chutney Preserves closing event where you can channel your inner chutney and create your own puppet whilst exploring the mystical properties of the number seven. It is the seventh day after all…
