Come and see the transformation of the Argos windows on Church Lane. Many years ago the Leytonstone Arts Trail transformed the old Woolworths Building into an art gallery - we have now had permission from Argos to use the iconic windows of that building for a series of art installations. These will be curated by Chris Davies, Ceri Hines, Carl Stimpson, Brett Banks, Kate Mayer. Let's see what they do!
