Urban Sketchers – Open Exhibition 8-16 October at The Art Pavilion, Mile End Park

Mile End Car Service, Burdett Road A wonderful art exhibition is on from now until the 16th October at the Art Pavilion in Mile End Park, just behind the Texaco Garage. The sketchers have captured the spirit of London with over 100 sketches on show. There are plenty of local buildings and views such as the now derelict "Mile End Car Service" above, Morgan Arms and the Art Pavilion itself. When you read "Mile End Car Service" can you hear the woman's voice that used to pick up the phone saying it? And it was quickly followed by "On its way now". It isn't just a passive exhibition either. You can join in and sketch the park too from the venue, join the sketchers on one of their "sketchcrawls" around the park or watch a demo.
