Workshops & Marketplace

We also host a market place as a trading arm to fundraise for the delivery of our workshops.

“Go Africa” was set up as a movement to mobilise the African & Caribbean creative communities in Islington to come together as one, as a craft market, to promote talent, art, culture and education.

The market place is where local people can buy original and first hand art, ethical handcrafts and participate in interactive workshops including arts & craft, learning instruments, learning native leaders and book reading by African authors to support young adults and children.
