As part of London College of Communication’s ongoing support to our cultural neighbours, we’re featuring a weekly round-up of some of the online activities and content provided by the fantastic museums, galleries and cultural venues in our local area.
From Instagram drawing clubs to virtual exhibitions, artist profiles, video demonstrations, film screenings, performances and more, here’s our guide to what you can get involved in with our Southwark and Lambeth friends and partners – all from the comfort of your own home.
Southwark Council are pulling together a ‘Stay At Home Library’ – a space on the Council’s website for residents to find out about creative and active things to do at home during this time.
If you are delivering an online activity, meet up, or providing opportunities for people to engage in creative content online that you would like people to know about, you can use this to spread the word
Find out more on the Southwark Council website.
