As Summer turns into Autumn it’s time to reflect on our busy year, not just for EFO Artists, but the many other artistic and cultural treasures of East Finchley and its near neighbours. In an unusual poll in Time Out recently we were voted the happiest community in London and, although we are not quite sure of the methodology, it’s still not surprising given the richness of our local culture.
As well as EFO Artists we have the superb annual Arts Festival with music, opera and art,and then there is the independent Phoenix Cinema, not only for interesting films but drama and opera from other cultural centres such as London and New York.
And then there are two community Festivals, summer and winter, and The Finchley Youth Theatre. Artists, poets, actors, and writers abound. There are also journalists and animators – even a comedian! And in nearby Highgate (or East Finchley borders, as they prefer to be called) there is Jacksons Lane and the Gatehouse Theatre.
But there is still more. As well as being happy, we have the EFO Artists annual Art Fair is coming up and the Community Winter Festival too. Enjoy!!
