Art Social '15, the annual festival from the charity The House of St Barnabas, launches at the end of next week. We've got tickets to give away
© Courtesy House of St BarnabasThe magazine Oh Comely will host "Feast on Creativity", a series of artist workshops including tie-dying classes with Tie Dye High Five and fresh flower button hole workshops with The Flower Appreciation Society. The mini-manifesto programme will include Tom Hodgkinson of The Idler talking about the importance of sleep and Anna Murray of Patternity talking about how pattern affects our way of seeing.
The Saturday night will culminate in a silent disco under the stars, as curated by Tony Nwachukwu of CDR fame.
Throughout the week there will also be a public programme featuring performance, film and video installation programme taking place in the historic chapel of the House of St Barnabas, featuring work by Jeremy Deller and Laure Prouvost. Artist Merike Estna will be inviting festivalgoers to eat and wear her creations in "Jacketspaintings/ Paintingsjackets".
The artist Keef Winter is creating a huge geometric sculpture that will sit above the secret courtyard garden and will glow with the colours representing different levels of human needs.
There will also be a large scale installation in the centre of Soho Square by the sculptor Hester Reeve who has exhibited at Yorkshire Sculpture Park before. The four-metre high teapot will explore ideas of domesticity and the comfort sought in the now very British tradition of tea-drinking.
