Thanks to everyone that came to the Ashes 57 show last Thursday – We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

In case you were wondering when the next show is, you don’t have long to wait. We’re back at The Rag Factory on Thursday, 5th August, a mere fortnight after the last event! This time we’re taking part in Time Out’s First Thursdays Program. We got the invitation on incredibly short notice, following the cancellation of another show. We decided to accept the invite, even though we only have a week to publicise it. So please, help us to spread the word.

We are showcasing the work of 2 new LAVA artists: Jo Peel and Stik. Jo Peel is a member of Scrawl Collective. She is based at Boot St Studios in Hoxton. This year she decorated The Park Bar at Glastonbury festival, and painted the roof of Cordy House amongst many other places. Her distinctive line drawings find beauty in scenes of urban decay and construction.

Stik is a prolific and talented street artist. His minimalist characters appear in countless poses and scenarios all over London. Each piece of his is highly site specific, painted with a sensitivity that makes them resonate with their surroundings. He is preparing a new piece especially for this show; we can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
