Waltham Forest Arts Club Pop Up Gallery
In the five weeks since announcing our successful bid for a shop/exhibition space at Wood Street Indoor Market, members of Waltham Forest Arts Club have been very busy setting up a pop up exhibition space at the indoor market, and devising TURNAROUND, a weekly series of exhibitions by members of the arts club.

Above is the TURNAROUND programme. More information can also be found at TURNAROUND’s own web site:

There are opportunities to meet many of the exhibiting artists as they will be staffing the gallery through the weeks of their shows. There is still a chance to catch TURNAROUND 2, ”Jewels of Imagination” – featuring work by Wendy Le Ber, Ellen Jones and Sanyukta Shrestha – which concludes tomorrow (Friday 24th February)
Sanyukta Shrestha – Buddhist Deity, Lokeshvara
This Saturday morning will see a new show, Turnaround 3, set up by Helen Porter and fellow artists – one based primarily on various sorts of printed work exploring ideas about knowledge and belief.

TURNAROUND is curated by Julie Caves, Helen Porter and Julian Beere.
Waltham Forest Arts Club’s pop up gallery is part of a project and collective effort to revive Wood St Indoor Market and so contribute to the ongoing regeneration of Wood Street. The revival has seen a great variety of new shops open up in the market about which more information can be found at:
Waltham Forest Arts Club is a voluntary independent artist run project, free to join and funded entirely by members/donations. We aim to support and contribute to the arts in Waltham Forest. TURNAROUND is currently our main focus however we are also continuing with our monthly meetings at Ye Olde Rose & Crown (Hoe St, E17).
This coming Monday evening (27th February) we will be hosting a talk by legal experts from Queen Mary University about copyright. The talk will be in the Red Room and start at 7pm. Admission is free or by donation. Non-members are welcome.
