ARThouse Open Studios Festival

Friday 11 - Sunday 20 June 2010

The ARThouse Open Studios Festival for the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames this year has 82 venues to visit over the two weekends (Friday 11, Saturday 12, Sunday 13 - Friday 18, Saturday 19, Sunday 20 June), as well as 11 of the Borough's schools taking part.

The range of artwork created in the borough is fantastic, with art forms including paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, textiles, photography and more. Many of the venues are clustered together within easy walking or cycling distance of one another, so it's a simple way to spend an enjoyable afternoon discovering your local artists and learning about the borough.

Open studio festivals are a fantastic opportunity to learn about new artists, chat about their work and browse their exhibition in an informal atmosphere. With so many talented artists and craftspeople in the borough there really is something for everyone.

This year we've introduced a Prize Draw to encourage people to visit new artists. Visit five or more participating venues, and you could be in with a chance of winning £100 to spend on the ARThouse artist of your choice - see the brochure for more details.

Download the festival brochure and festival map which includes information on all the artists taking part in 2010.

Art Advisory Service

I am a consultant in Contemporary Art specialising in sale and purchase of paintings, prints, photographs and sculpture. I advise on what's hot and what's not, when to buy and sell and what parts of the art market are best for your purposes. You could be an individual, company or gallery and buying for pleasure, investment, profit or image. Whether you need an imposing work for a corporate lobby, want to buy art for investment or simply need a nice painting to match the curtains, I can help. I will take a comprehensive brief from you and search the market to provide you with a selection of work to your requirements and in your price range. Except in exceptional specific circumstances there is no charge for my purchasing services - all my fees come from commission from the galleries or artists - and you will pay the same (or less) than if you were buying directly! Please call me for an informal discussion of your requirements - at no charge of course.

Consultation by appointment.

Nicky Adams Photography

Nicky is a local, contemporary lifestyle photographer, producing spontaneous and natural pictures of you and your family. This is not about formal studio portraits. This is lifestyle photography. It's about you, your life, your surroundings, your personality.

It's important that you feel relaxed during the shoot, that's why Nicky works at a location of your choice. It may be in your home, garden or other favourite location for you or your family. It may be the woods, the sand dunes or by the river. It may be your garden shed. There are as many possibilities as there are personalities. Everyone is more relaxed in a familiar and natural environment and, children especially, will focus on something, go into their own world — providing perfect opportunities to seize the mood, the expression, the person, resulting in honest, natural beautiful images.

Images are presented in a beautiful range of the highest quality bespoke frames, hand crafted designer albums, canvasses and acrylics — whatever suits your style — all personally signed by Nicky. You will have a real piece of artwork; the kind to display on your wall, not to flick through then hide away in a drawer.

Redlees Studios

We are a diverse group of artists formed to organise and promote the collective and individual work of the residents of Redlees Studios. Our members work ranges from Jewellery to Glass, Ceramics, Painting, Sculpture and Mixed Media.

Collectively we organise shows of our members creations in close co-operation with the CIP (Community Initiative Partnership) who maintain the buildings we work in. Our aim is to establish the studios as a thriving centre for the production of high quality art, crafts and design and to raise our profile in the markets for the work of all our members.

The studios based at Redlees Park, housed within a former Victorian block, and the studios based within Isleworth Public Hall, are both owned by the London Borough of Hounslow and managed by Community Initiative Partnerships (CIP) the Cultural, Regeneration and Leisure trust for the borough.

The studios were opened to the public in 1995 and conversion of the stables block was made possible by funding from The National Lottery and The London Borough of Hounslow Leisure Services and Economic Development unit.
