We have been inundated with almost 100 excellent submissions for SHOPPORTUNITY!
A list of appointed artists and designers and their Wood Street partners will be posted very soon.
This programme of public projects seeks to enhance the character of Wood Street, Walthamstow: restoring heritage buildings, providing new planting, signage, street furniture and shop frontages, and commissioning a number of art projects connecting and animating diverse spaces and communities. The programme is supported by London Borough of Waltham Forest and the Mayor's Outer London Fund, which is helping increase the vibrancy and growth of high street places across London.

a butcher, a baker, a candle maker
I have been selected to deliver round 2 of the Wood Street Inside Out Moving Image commission. I’ve spent a few initial days there researching, and doing lots of walking. Here’s a selection of initial images from these walks:
Out of over 200 businesses on the street, only four of those are high street chains (Percy Ingles, Coral, Travis Perkins and Co-Operative foods and funeralcare)
There happens to be “A Butcher, a Baker, a Candle Maker” so will use this phrase as my working title.
More on this soon.

SHOPPORTUNITY
Building on the success of SHOPPORTUNITY pilot projects earlier this year, we are looking to establish further creative partnerships between a number of artists, designers and makers and several local traders/service providers to improve Wood Street frontages.
