Croydon is set to commemorate Andy Warhol, 30 years after his death.

Croydon’s RISEgallery is delivering a programme of free events throughout the month, under the theme ‘Warhol Croydon’, as a tribute to the life and work of the artist.

Among the activities will be:

• A street exhibition of giant artworks curated by RISEgallery and the artist Dotmasters, featuring tributes to Warhol by some of today’s leading artists, which will be displayed on prominent buildings throughout the town centre and lit up at night.

• Free guided tours of the exhibition twice daily throughout the month.

• A free exhibition of original Andy Warhol artworks hosted in the RISEgallery, in St George’s Walk, the heart of Croydon’s cultural quarter.

• A series of free Warhol film and documentary screenings, plus talks and lectures that will include international speakers from around the world.

• Late-night openings of the RISEgallery

• A host of family-friendly activities planned with support from the local community for each week of the event, appealing to all ages.

All events are free for everyone
