Haringey has seen a massive influx of creatives over recent years. Comuniart is currently focusing on bringing this avalanche of artistic energy together so that its talent can be revealed. Over the coming months Comuniart, its partners and Harringey's creative community will work closely to deliver events, exhibitions and media online showcasing and selling the creations and services of this vibrant emerging scene. We have developed as an ethical agency for artists, striving for a fairer approach towards exhibiting and selling work.
We support our online activities on the ground with events, arts trails, festival involvements, pop ups (in partnership with some major national developers), viral promo campaigns and monthly meetings.
Our mission is to create an environment where all individuals, organisations, and corporations are regularly investing in their local art scene.
We do this by connecting individuals, organisations and corporations to fantastic art through new, innovative methods.
The event here is an arts trail - jam in a jar, the salisbury, the finsbury, the brownswood, shall all have curated shows from 16 Dec to 16 Jan.

No, it's promoting our art shows, we are Comuniart - warehouse based collective of artists. Winkworth are supporting us in promotion and genuinely interested in helping us to develop.

I first Googled Communiart and what came up has nothing to do with Haringey creativity. You have to Google Comuniart – one 'm' – to find the site. So my mistake! But in a way the name is based on a misspelling? A great idea none the less and I hope they all do well!

If you think of artists, they're like the shock troops of gentrification. We march in. We're the first people. We like this old warehouse. We need a cheap studio. So that's what happens. Artists move into the cheap housing and the cheap spaces. And they do their work and they're quite cool. And a little bit of a buzz starts up. And then maybe a little café opens up.
And people start saying: "Oh, it's kind've interesting, that area where those artists hang out. I think I'm gonna go down there." And people start noticing. And maybe some designers open up. And a little boutique.
And suddenly before you know it, the dead hand of the developer is noticing it. And before you know it, the designers move in and that's it. Bang goes the area.
And I've watched this fairy dust of cool, marketised bohemia drift down over various boroughs of London. I should think there's a couple of dozen of them I've seen it happen to over the thirty years. And of course now, it's happening to Derry. Be careful what you wish for.
I think developers should pay artists to live in somewhere for ten years - free. Pay them. Because we are these amazing ... We have this very precious commodity."

I'm up for that, but in the meantime check out some great local work at the venues. A large white wooden cat might be in one of em - we just have to check load bearing bits.
