Comuniart is launching exhibitions in London’s most excellent bars and pubs. Point101 thinks this is going to be a lot of fun!

Press Release:

Comuniart has organised 3 trails of exhibitions in over 20 pubs and bars across Camden, Islington and the East End in order to celebrate emerging artists and make their work more accessible across the community.  From the 18th of August till the 18th of September. To embark upon the Camden trail, start at the the Lockside Lounge and pick up a free map, in Islington start at the Kings Head Theatre Pub,in the East End, start at the Queen of Hoxton.

Comuniart is not just an organisation; it is a movement: Our aim is to change the way people regard their local art scene by making art more accessible: encouraging the public to take a more creative approach to life by incorporating the work and skills of artists into their homes, businesses and personal lives. Whether its commissioning a portrait, turning a past adventure into a personalised illustrated book, or having a mural painted on the wall, these are just some of the infinite ways in which art can be used to enrich life.

We believe this movement should begin in Britain’s great unifying institution: the pub. What better place to expose fresh, affordable work to wider audiences while simultaneously communicating our message that enjoying art need not be limited to spectating and purchasing but can be something that can be integrated into daily life in practical and exciting ways.

“Consumerism and mass culture have imposed a homogeny across society that can only be dissolved by the creative efforts of its members.” – Justin Agius, Director.
