Today in London: Thursday 6 December 2012
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 29 November 2012
As it always is on the earliest Thursday of each month, tonight is a First Thursday night.
This means that over 100 east London galleries and exhibition spaces (not least Vyner Street, St Johns Bethnal Green, Vital Arts and the brand new Formans Smokehouse, who all have shows opening this very evening) are allowing us all to appreciate their various artistic wares for free, just this once.
On the off-chance that hasn’t quite sated your cultural wants, maybe the following will…

An exhibition of late beat novelist and ‘Junky’ author William S Burroughs’ lesser-famed paintings, drawings and ‘talismanic’ art objects. Info here.
