This month's Friday V&A Late is heading beyond the museum walls to Hackney Wick to explore the DIY & self organised arts community of Grow.
Grow invites everyone to come and celebrate the self-organised and DIY creativity of the artists and musicians who have collaborated in the space over the years and helped shape us into what we are today. By showcasing the creative community that continues to be displaced, we hope to evoke thoughts of what it means to be part of something.

ABOUT GROW Grow, Hackney is an self-organised eco-system of studios and a creative space with bars and a kitchen, created out of an old sausage factory by the River Lea in Hackney Wick. Grow works in partnership with artists, musicians, DJs and community groups and hosts a diverse programme of events, including: live jazz and blues, open deck reggae, workshops and talks and art/film festivals.
As well as being a creative space, Grow operates as an experiment in ethical and sustainable business and pays the London Living Wage, uses eco-electricity, sources ethically and locally and is free entry, wherever possible. Grow hosts meetups for permaculture groups and also fundraise for local environmental and social charities.
Grow serves a seasonal menu and range of drinks, including organic wines and prosecco, signature cocktails such as Hemp White Russian, homemade Hackney Spiced Rum, cask ale and also offer a range of soft and hot drinks including Kombucha.
