About
An artistic event about Brixton for Brixton
Many people have lived in or around Brixton all their lives, watching its evolution, and for the good and bad, we still love it as the vibrant place it is today.
Brixton has a strong community, frequently coming together to make its voice heard, and the aim of this event it to create just that opportunity.
The area is swimming with creativity, from actors, musicians, and comedians to visual artists and designers. With funding cuts currently prevalent in the arts and the need to create a platform for emerging talent we are uniting in this event to celebrate the area and its artistic community, whilst raising awareness and money for the #SaveBrixtonArches campaign.
