The Whitecross Street Party: Rise of the Nonconformists
Returning for the 3rd year, Whitecross Street will become a haven of creativity, music and food that will have you drooling. Quite shady too for those of you finding the heat a tad too much. In the gallery we will have live painting from Sam Peacock (tweet #UnseenLandscapes) and his steel sheets in preparation for his solo show, Hannah Adamaszek and Kristin Gaudio Endsley will be collaborating on Sunday, and Andrea Tyrimos will leave you to find her hidden brick painting.
Competition time! If you find the hidden painting take a photo and tweet #Brick to @CuriousDuke for your chance of winning a limited edition print. And tweet us your suggestions for Andrea's live painting on Garrett Street and you could win a £50 gift voucher to spend with CDG!

SwapAholicsUK Hackney Clothing Swap
If like me you have a wardrobe of clothes you like but don't really wear, or just too lazy to bundle to the charity shop, look no further than this swap shop. Bring along the best of your discarded garments and take away some new ones. Painless shopping, and then off to the WXSP for afters.
