Founded by local artists in 2025, Hackney Art Week is back, and this year it’s bigger than ever. Over 10 days, the extravaganza will host exhibitions, markets, workshops, performances, immersive installations, street parties and even an art treasure hunt, bringing together 60 artists and creatives at 50 venues across Dalston, Clapton, London Fields, De Beauvoir, Stoke Newington, Haggerston and Hackney Wick. Venues involved include Raleigh Chapel, Chats Palace, The Rose Lipman Building, St Augustine’s Tower, ESEACC at The Old Bath House, as well as pubs, bakeries, delis and other much-loved Hackney spots.
Look out for the Dalston Cultural Quarter Takeover (June 6-7), where workshops, artist open studios, a ceramics market and a street-level sound system will take over Arcola Street; The Sandwich Walk by Jeanne Gourlaouen - a surreal installation of shoe-slash-sandwich sculptures on Wilton Way; the Collagism™ Art Hunt where the streets around London Fields transformed into a living collage, and live music from composer Gabriel Prokofiev that will take over clubs, warehouses and everything in between.
