It is time for ARThouse 2011, Richmond’s annual Open Studios Festival.

Residents and visitors get the chance to experience the abundance of creative talent living and working in the borough. Over the two weekends between 10-19 June artists and creative craftspeople will open their homes and studios to exhibit their work in their own unique environment. Last year’s festival involved over 150 artists who exhibited their current creations and project in their homes, studios, community centres and schools.

The event provides a wonderful opportunity to meet some of the area’s finest creative people, pick up creative advice from artists, and even buy original pieces.

Admission to all open studio venues is free.

Unless otherwise stated venues open: Fri 6-9pm, Sat/Sun 11am-6pm
