Brixton Blog & Bugle Art Show 2025

This year’s will be the sixth Brixton Blog & Bugle Summer Art Show. Held in July in the Tate Library on Windrush Square, it has become an established part of Brixton’s cultural calendar.

Open to local artists – both professional and self-taught – it is a unique celebration of Brixton’s creative talents. Each year has seen a steady increase in the number of participating artists and the number of visitors.

Last year 61 artists – whose work included painting, sculpture, photography, collage, digital printing and more – were able to show (and sell) their work to around 1,500 members of the local community who visited the show and participated in the peoples’ ballot to select the winner who receives a unique award.
