ART-LOVERS mingled with families to enjoy three days of art exhibitions in Crystal Palace Park.

There were workshops for children and visitors got to take home their own artistic mementoes from the Six Thousand Chairs event.

The 6,000 deckchairs were lined up in the park for people to paint and keep.

The bank holiday art extravaganza was the brainchild of the Crystal Palace Artists programme and more than 30 internationally-acclaimed artists took part.

Music, dance and light shows were also part of the Arts Council-funded event.
