Eco Fair 2025: CandWAG Brings Art to Carshalton Park
Join us at one of Carshalton's biggest community celebrations as we showcase how art, creativity, and wellbeing connect with sustainability and environmental consciousness.
Eco Fair 2025 - Where Art Meets Sustainability
Art in the Heart of Community
This summer, CandWAG (Carshalton & Wallington Art Group) is thrilled to be part of the Eco Fair 2025 on Monday, August 25th. As one of Carshalton's most beloved community events, the Eco Fair brings together over 150 stalls, live music, delicious food, and innovative green projects—and we're excited to add art and creativity to the mix.
Our participation isn't just about showcasing beautiful artwork; it's about demonstrating how art supports mental wellbeing, builds community connections, and can even contribute to environmental consciousness through mindful creative practices.

Why Art Belongs at an Eco Fair
As someone who finds deep connection between nature and creativity, I'm particularly excited about CandWAG's participation in the Eco Fair. There's something profound about the intersection of environmental consciousness and artistic expression.
Both art and environmental stewardship require us to slow down, observe, and appreciatethe world around us. When we paint a landscape, we're not just capturing its beauty—we're developing a deeper relationship with the natural environment that sustains us.
The Eco Fair celebrates sustainable living, community connection, and local engagement—values that perfectly align with our art group's mission of using creativity to build wellbeing and bring people together.
Meet CandWAG: More Than Just an Art Group
Carshalton & Wallington Art Group isn't just about creating beautiful paintings—though we certainly do that! We're a community of artists at every skill level who believe that art has the power to heal, connect, and inspire.
Our Community Values:
