Bits & Pieces is a collaborative art project bringing together a group of artists to create a participatory event for children and families, centred around the themes of used materials, creative reuse, and sustainability. Together, we’ll explore how to turn the discarded into something magical, meaningful, and new. Each artist will share their own practice, offering participants a chance to experience different techniques — from drawing to painting, making to playful repair. The families will contribute to a shared art piece, combining everyone's creative input into one joyful collective work.

This is a great opportunity to:

• Co-create with other like-minded artists

• Connect with the local community

• Share your work in a supportive, playful environment

We're looking for open, collaborative artists who are excited to work with others and support children and families in hands-on making. If this sounds like you, please complete the application form and email info@beyond-space.com with 1–3 images of your work. We will contact artists by 10 August 2025.

Themes: reuse, transformation, playful repair, second lives
Expected participants: children and families
Date/ Time: Saturday 27 September 2025, 2–6 PM
Project location: The Hall at St John the Evangelist, Sylvan Road, London SE19 2RX

We’re also planning to join Crystal Palace Artists Open House 2025 — and there’s a chance this project and you will be featured as part of the festival.
