For one weekend, the Whitgift Centre becomes a gallery showcasing contemporary artists with a Croydon connection.

In partnership with Turf Projects, the shopping centre will see a curated exhibition of contemporary artists selected from an open call, alongside work from local young people and community creators.

A highlight of the weekend will be the reveal of the Croydon Masterpiece, a new artwork created with local residents by artist Rachel Gadsden. Visitors of all ages can also enjoy hands‑on activities and creative workshops throughout the event.
