Camberwell Arts is a registered charity that aims to represent and promote the diverse cultural geographies of Camberwell.

As one of the first and now longest running local visual arts festivals in the UK, Camberwell Arts Festival works in partnership with local residents and artists studio’s, galleries and arts organisations to programme a 9 day festival of exhibitions, events, open studios, walks, talks and workshops.

In this way the organisation aims to encourage local residents to engage with their local environment, using contemporary art practice as a means to promote and improve social, community and cultural resources:  drawing from performance, cinema, music spoken word and literature to compliment the central focus on the visual arts.

New to the Camberwell Arts website, we bring you What’s On in Camberwell – a monthly guide to the cultural highlights of Camberwell. Every month, we’ll be rounding up the best local exhibitions, events, performances, music and more to help you make the most of our great local arts scene.
