Block Party

July 2020

A creative collaboration in celebration of the vibrancy of the street’s arts community, the exhibition shows togetherness. Community is at the heart of a block party – a street celebration where one goes to be entertained, engage in conversation and get to know their neighbours. Today, perhaps more than ever, we collectively feel the need for community. Despite these uncertain times, resilience, creativity and art endure, and The Arts Club’s neighbours embrace this by showing together in this exhibition.

We have taken great care to uphold social distancing guidelines and safety measures throughout the Club and encourage those visiting to also schedule visits with galleries on the street, who have taken careful precautions to reopen with enhanced safety measures in accordance with city guidelines.

Each gallery will showcase an artwork from its roster of artists including:
