Fancy wandering through a bunch of local galleries for free (as well as getting a chance to nose around other people’s houses)?

Starting this weekend and continuing next weekend, Tooting and Wandsworth residents have the opportunity to visit local artists’ homes and gallery spaces to view their creative output, meet the makers and, of course, buy some art.

Wandsworth Artists' Open House is a local and affordable annual exhibition which allows Wandsworth artists to show and sell work from their home or studio. It's also a fantastic way for art lovers to catch a glimpse at the creative talent throughout the borough.

All sorts of arts and crafts are accessible – some just a few minutes walk from your front door. Meet local artists, find out more about their creative process, and buy directly from them. Artists also benefit from increasing their network of fellow creatives and art-lovers, and have a great opportunity to showcase their work to new audiences.

For more information, visit the Wandsworth Art website. If you’re an artist that would like to get involved in next year’s Open House, click here.

Wandsworth Artists’ Open House is coordinated by Wandsworth Arts Team, part of Enable Leisure and Culture, on behalf of Wandsworth Council, as part of its arts and cultural development programme. The event is run in conjunction with a steering committee of local artists. For more information about the work of Wandsworth Arts Team call (020) 8871 8711 or visit www.enablelc.org/arts/about.
