The Hundred Club is an experimental creative space that uses arts and play for children to explore social justice issues. Free and open to 5-12 year olds and their siblings, parents and carers.

The club was initiated by Ruth Beale and is produced by TACO!

A family club, we ask parents and carers to stay and get involved. 

Upcoming sesssions:

Field trip to Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair
Sun 24 Nov, 11.45-2pm *FULLY BOOKED*
Woolwich Works, 11 No 1 St, Royal Arsenal, London SE18 6HD
5-12 year olds and their families are invited to visit Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair alongside artist Tommy Brentnall. We’ll explore the fair, try out some hands-on drawing and printing, and review our favourite (or least favourite!) artworks for the next issue of WAAAAH!, our kids produced newspaper. 

Breaking News x WAAAH! in a day
Sat 30 Nov, 10-1
TACO! Print Studio, 30 Poplar Place, SE28 8BA
5-12 year olds and their families are invited to join artists Chloe Cooper, Tommy Brentnall and Ruth Beale to make the new issue of WAAAH! as we transform our new community print space into a newsroom for the morning. We’ll become journalists, illustrators, editors, headline wranglers and crossword creators to make a giant version of our newspaper on the floor before we scan it in, shrink it down and print it out on the risograph printer to give to our neighbours (and take home for keeps)!

Sessions are free to attend, but please book your place here!

Our afterschool club at The Moorings Sociable Club in Thamesmead is currently on hiatus. Watch this space for more info.

Members of the club contribute to our own kids-produced newspaper WAAAAH!, as well as taking part in other fun creative activities like designing and speaking to special guests. Children and families are involved in decision-making, and each term we ask the children what the important issues are for them.

Sessions are facilitated by experienced visual artists and designers. Through collaboration and hands-on activities members of the club  experiment and play through art and making, using these as an inspiration to imagine a more fair, just and equal society.

The Hundred Club was initiated in 2021 by artist Ruth Beale and TACO! Ruth Beale is a London-based artist. Their work troubles the structures and systems that shape society, from institutions to social ties to the public realm. Committed to the radical possibilities of working collectively and collaboratively, they use dialogue and exchange to rethink the ways we share resources and ideas about the future. In 2012 they co-founded The Alternative School of Economics with Amy Feneck, which explores economic and political issues in relation to the complexity of lived experience.


Recent commissions include Drawing Risky Play with Turf Projects, Croydon, London and Library as Memorial with Brent Biennial, London. Recent exhibitions include LIKE GODS at Swiss Cottage Library Gallery, Editorial Tables: Reciprocal Hospitalities at The Showroom and a major new installation by The Alternative School of Economics in Economics the Blockbuster: It’s not Business as Usual, The Whitworth, Manchester.
