The Peckham Queer Art Boot Fair is located at Bellenden Road and Choumert Road Market, Peckham, on the 18th of August. It will feature more than 50 LGBTQIA+ Artists, a queer objects stall and drawing activities. It’s FREE to attend.
This year the successful event returns for a second time running and it is even bigger! We are coordinating more stalls across Bellenden Road and Choumert Road Market. Consequently, there will be a huge variety of LGBTQIA+ artists and allies: exhibitors are of early, mid, established and outsider art careers. You can purchase wonderful works of art (such as prints, drawings, sculptures, photos, ceramics and clothing design) from amazing contemporary artists. Also, more local shops, cafes and businesses are involved to support the event and the community.
Wander down Bellenden Road and pop into the many shops who are participating, many hosting an artist, and then attend the main area of the boot fair in the traditional Southwark market street – Choumert Road. The nearest station is Peckham Rye.
Besides the artworks on exhibition we are leading a life drawing and queer objects workshop. The workshop focuses on queer identities of the home and archival practice to celebrate Pride. You can join in by drawing, posing and having a conversation. ( If you have a queer object that you’d like to exhibit please contact Miles Coote – we’d love to hear from you).
The event is organised in partnership with MOCA London, Miles Coote Queer Arts Limited and Lucie Russell (Peckham Life Drawing, Drawing People Together). A big thank you to everyone involved and especially those volunteering to make this event happen!
