Hackney WickED

The 3-day art festival Hackney WickED, now in its 4th year, opened yesterday and runs until tomorrow. Art studios, galleries, pop-up spaces and site-specific installations will be open to the public throughout Hackney Wick and Fish Island. East End art is thriving. The festival attracted 25,000 people last year. Click the title link for a map showing all the events and shows. BBC London News has posted a depressingly awful video of the festival: CLICK. Don't let it put you off.
