West London Artists Open Studios In June Once More
Annemarie Mazoudier
The popular West London cultural event – Artists at Home – will return to its usual third weekend in June this year, with artists and makers opening up their homes and studios from 17-19 June and online.
The open studios event is believed to be the first of its type in London and was started by Mary Fedden, OBE RA RWA and JulianTrevelyan RA almost 50 years ago. This year will be the biggest yet with 83 artists participating across 66 open studios and 9 artists showing online only.
A record-breaking 17 new artists will be joining the event this year including Clare Burnett, President of the Royal Society of Sculptors, who will be showing her sculptures and paintings in W12, Karin Raab, who creates decorative and functional ceramics in W6 and AJ Coady who will exhibit his paintings in W4.
“After two years of disruption, we are all thrilled to return to our regular dates in June, with such a strong showing of artists,” says Kathryn Davey, Chair of the Artists at Home Steering Group. “We have new branding and great enthusiasm as we approach our half century anniversary next year. We know this weekend is incredibly popular with visitors, who come mostly from the local area of course but also from further afield, to enjoy the unique experience of seeing and buying work directly from artists and visiting their studios.”
The main sponsor for Artists at Home 2022 is once again leading local estate agent Horton and Garton whose Director John Horton says, “We are proud of our close association with Artists at Home, which is a local institution we greatly admire. The combination of finding original artworks, meeting their creators and getting to see inside some wonderful local property is irresistible. We are looking forward to this year’s event.”
Studio guides with profiles of the artists taking part and a map of how to find them will drop through letterboxes in West London over the next few weeks. In addition, all artists have pages at www.artistsathome.co.uk where their works can be browsed ahead of the event.
