PLUnk and Plumstead Open Studios present:
Art & Music Showcase
Friday 30th August from 7pm until 10.30pm
in the Bar at Shrewsbury House Community Centre
Bushmoor Crescent SE18 3EG
The evening is designed as a showcase where you can meet and see the work of some of the artists taking part in Plumstead Open Studios, which takes place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th September. It is an opportunity to meet them in a relaxed atmosphere, with perhaps a drink from the bar. Afterwards you can stay and be entertained by three musical acts brought to you by PLUnk that co-ordinated a week of music here in Plumstead during late July.
Entry is free and everyone is welcome.
