Apex Arts
- prize-winning new logo |
In August 2007 a winning logo design was chosen to reflect WFAC's new working name, Apex Arts. A graffiti-style logo by 17 year-old Chingford student, Kate Rowland, was chosen to reflect the more dynamic, contemporary image. Kate worked with professional graphic designer, Jim Cheatle, to make her design print-ready.
Apex Arts works in partnership with the London Borough of Waltham Forest to support the creative activity of all who live, work, learn and enjoy leisure pursuits in Waltham Forest. |

DiamondGirlz Jennie, Abigail & Nicola, a trio with stunning precision voices, will host this year’s Event. The Big Dance will travel the world in a day, with DJ A.K.A kicking off the event playing RnB, Hip Hip, Soca, Reggae and Soul tunes. Dances from Latin America, Asia, Africa, Europe and America will be featured. Prepare to be amazed by the Gymnastic, Martial Arts Stage and Combat Display, from Sam Tu Dang, Shaolin Gongfu City, RC-Annie and East London Capoeira.
