Art Appreciation: Art and About: Art in the Olympic (North) Park - Walking Tour
Part of the WEA Art and About Festival 2024!
Art in the Olympic (North) Park Walking Tour explores the public artworks in the north side of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It is the first Olympic Park to integrate artworks into the landscape right from the start by established and emerging artists, international and local, which reflects the Park’s identity, and the first to have an artist-in-residence during its construction. Discover artworks that are both large and striking, whilst others are smaller and harder to find, inspired by the undulating landscape, riverside, buried histories, community memories, and Olympic glory.
The meeting point is Copper Box Arena on Waterden Rd.
