📍 Winns Gallery, Lloyd Park, Walthamstow, London, E17 5JW

A gallery located in the heart of Lloyd Park provides the perfect setting for the inspiration and exploration of how gardens are depicted by local artists.

This year, Waltham Collective brings together 20 artists, whose work is inspired and completed in green spaces in the UK: be it a backyard, community garden, potted flowers or allotments.

Curated by Margarita Makhanova (@margaliu), this art show showcases gardens from Walthamstow (and not only) through paintings, ceramics, cyanotype, prints, collages, etc.
