2. Alma Street Fair seeks artists
Art Street has become an integral part of the hugely popular Alma Street Fair. Running along Inkerman Road, Art Street showcases local Kentishtowner talent in all its ker-azy forms.
“This year,” says organiser Mel, “we’re hunting high and low in the borough so please come forward and get involved if you paint, sew or photograph. We promise to find you a pitch.”
And that’s not all. “We’ll also be hosting a number of workshops throughout the day in our little arty marquee,” she says. “These will be open to all and give you the chance to make something and take it away too.”
Nice. Also, don’t forget the Kentishtowner’s Alma-themed competition open to all local artists to design the front cover artwork of our June print issue. Deadline is Monday evening May 6. It’s the perfect opportunity to get your work seen by thousands of readers. More details here.
For more info on having a stall in Alma Street Fair, email Melissa Hardwick mel@weirdpixels.com. As we said last week, this year the fair will be taking place on Sunday 23rd June 1-6pm.

When Dingwalls opened in 1973 the area round it was known as “Dingwalls” for a couple of years because Camden Market was so small then and the Lock considered nothing special, Dingwalls was the biggest thing there.
The shops around it were mostly junk shops then too (except Compendium book shop), a lot of shops flogged second hand TVs, I remember them because I bought one there.
