Brondesbury Park Synagogue in north west London welcomed more than 150 visitors on Sunday 15 March for its second annual community art exhibition celebrating creativity across generations.

With the theme of the night as ‘L’chaim’, “BP-Art” showcased work from 48 artists aged 6 to 90 years old, bringing together a wide range of artistic media including painting, drawing, photography, video, and ceramics.

Curator Dan Leon said: “BP-Art was created to celebrate the incredible creativity that exists within our community. What makes it special is not just the quality of the work, but the extraordinary range of voices and generations represented.”

Alongside the community artists, the exhibition featured several guest pieces from notable contributors, including David Glasser of the Ben Uri Gallery and Museum and Naomi Games, daughter of the renowned graphic designer Abram Games.

Visitors explored the exhibition, met artists, and chatted about the works on display, highlighting how art can bring together people of different ages and backgrounds, strengthening community bonds through creativity.
