Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair is the day the art-world parks up in Brick Lane Yard to celebrate art, food and of course, cars.

The Art:
Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair founder and curator, Karen Ashton, comments, “This year the Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair is bringing a slew of new talent into the car park, incredible performances, unbelievable art bargains and an ecstatic never-seen-before dog show to boot.”

Artists will present a myriad of canine influenced art work and all dogs (good-natured, of course) are welcome with their owners. They will have a one-off chance to be photographed with their owners in a car boot by artist Maria Teresa Gavazzi! A little birdie tells us, that there is even a Best in Boot prize.

Not forgetting the inimitable host and raconteur Richard Strange.
