About Ken

Ken McCalla lives and works in Tooting and has over 40 years of experience as a visual artist. He uses colourful imagery in his work to express a rich cultural heritage, while also exploring personal growth & celebrating harmony.

His focus during the Residency will be on printmaking and in his time in the gallery he will share an insight into his working process. To encourage community engagement Ken will include 6 FREE print workshops open to everyone (details of Workshops HERE) and two public events with guest artists and performers.

​

The Residency will allow him the physical space & the time to focus on his own printmaking ideas with a view to creating a solo print exhibition; and it will also provide an opportunity to hear feedback directly from the public.

​

On Saturday 2 August 'In Conversation' Event from 5 to 8pm with Alvin Kofi, who was the finalist in Sky's Portrait Artist of the Year. And on Saturday 30 August there will be a Peer Collaboration Event from 5 to 8pm, which will feature musicians, poets and artists.  Everyone is welcome to enjoy all these free events.
