Cafe Art by the Homeless - Sarah Caldwell-Watson

From Standing Room Only, 12:36 pm on 16 December 2018

A New Zealand woman involved in a London programme getting art by homeless people onto the walls of the city's cafes, says it's an idea that could easily work over here.

Sarah Caldwell-Watson is the Exhibitions & Development Manager for Café Art - a social enterprise project that frames the artwork of people attending art sessions run by London homeless sector organisations, then sells the art through cafes.

The organisation also puts out a calendar of photos taken by homeless people of parts of the city most Londoners and visitors would never otherwise get to see. Sarah started as a volunteer before taking on the management role last year.
