The Jokes On Us! Exhibition: Launch evening

We are launching our exciting new participatory art exhibition, The Joke’s On Us! on Thursday 11th April. The exhibition is part of the Waltham Forest Borough of Culture 2019. It features work from the Government Art Collection, and it could showcase your finest joke…

The launch will take place from 6:30-8:30pm at The Mill. We will provide food, non-alcoholic drinks and organise a vote for the funniest joke… You can even walk off with a giant joke poster, created by a famous British artist!

Background on the show 

Over the last month we have asked residents – and anyone from anywhere in the world – to tell us their best joke in any language. As long as they are not offensive, all jokes will be displayed alongside prestigious artwork from the Government Art Collection during the The Joke’s On Us! show between Thursday 11 April – Saturday 25 May.

The Government Art Collection exhibit is called Joke Stack by Peter Liversidge. You can even walk off with a piece of this prestigious artwork, as Joke Stack includes a number of large joke posters which anyone can take home.

You can read more about the show here.
