Christmas is almost here. So what can arts lovers give each other?
Subscriptions to galleries, theatres or institutions are obvious choices, but how about including something truly amazing with your worthy arts charity Christmas card this year?
By far the most cutting edge way to buy your art for Christmas is Santa’s Ghetto, where the artistic underground join the mainstream shopping throngs each year. Santa’s Ghetto has been running for several years in crazy places, like an old porn shop on Charing Cross Road. Open until 23rd December, this year the artists responsible for Pictures On Walls are gathered together in a shop on Oxford Street – squatting according to some rumours – selling their graffiti style art in what used to be a Clarks shoe store (you can also buy online).
