Messages from our funders

London Borough of Waltham Forest

“Waltham Forest Council is proud to support the E17 Art Trail and recognises the opportunity that it gives to a diverse range of local artists to present their creativity across the Walthamstow area. The range and quality of works gets better every year, which has made the E17 Art Trail a key milestone in the borough’s cultural calendar, attracting local residents and those from outside the area. "I look forward to seeing the artworks in their varied and often unexpected locations, and would like to thank those who have been working very hard over the past year to bring together another remarkable E17 Art Trail.”
Cllr Ahsan Khan, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, Labour Party Councillor for Hoe Street Ward.

Messages from our sponsors

Penny Fielding Gallery & Interiors – Gold Sponsor

"If you took all the artists/designers/makers in E17 and added up what they spent on materials, packaging, framing, studio rental, marketing etc. it would amount to hundreds of thousands of pounds per annum. If you put them all under one roof it would be a massive “factory” of production! "Although the trail can’t take all the credit for this, it can take credit for providing a platform for these artists who can only become more experienced, confident and consolidated as a community due to the umbrella nature of the trail. The E17 Art Trail not only provides an event in which artists participate, its presence in E17 has facilitated and supported a veritable industry of art!"
