The Salvation Army charity shop in Thornton Heath has partnered with Croydon Shared to transform their shop space into a gallery to showcase local artists and makers.

The pop-up takeovers will run from October through to December, and anyone interested in getting involved should email croydonshared@gmail.com

Croydon Shared is the brainchild of local artists PINS and Samantha Warren, co-founder of Scene in Croydon, with support from CDN creative Wesley Baker.

They were inspired to kickstart a collaborative space for Croydon creatives during lockdown, and the project celebrates life in Croydon as well as its diverse community and creative talents.
