ARThouse Open Studios Festival

Usually in June, the ARThouse Open Studios Festival celebrates local artists who open their homes and studios to share their art.

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.

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.
