ABOUT THIS MAGAZINE
Dulwich OnView magazine celebrates the people and culture of Dulwich and the surrounding areas of South East London.
The magazine came about when a group of us, who love the Dulwich area and already write, blog, take photographs and so on, met up through the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery and decided to collaborate.
From East to West Dulwich and beyond we wanted to recognise the eclectic nature of life round here, the breadth of people and livelihoods, the rude health of the Arts, and the buoyant sense of community, and subvert the tired old caricatures lazily ascribed to our South London home.All our team members and contributors are volunteers. If you would like to volunteer or contribute, as a writer, photographer, filmmaker, illustrator, or interviewer then please go to our Volunteer page.
Please let us how we’re doing, by commenting on articles or emailing us at dulwichonview@googlemail.com. To find out more about how this magazine came about you can listen to Yang-May Ooi’s phone blog.
The Friends of the Dulwich Picture Gallery is a vibrant and friendly community with events and activities supporting the art and work of the Dulwich Picture Gallery.

Congratulations to all involved for this really worthwhile initiative. Pleased to see the English wines features, but alas, I think, no vineyard yet in leafy Dulwich.
This looks like a great initiative, I wish I lived closer to the Dulwich Picture Gallery! For other online museum communities, see http://museums.wikia.com/ (wiki-based) and http://globalmuseum.ning.com/ .
