Come and join these talented people and help to encourage and respect their artistic development by visiting this free exhibition at Harrow Art Centre White Cube Gallery.
Art will also be displayed at the Green Hill Art POD, behind the Lloyds Bank building off Station Road.
Why is it important that we showcase young creatives?
Since 2010 the take up of creative subjects at exam level has fallen by 47%, schools are reducing access to arts subjects and central and local governments are systematically reducing spending on the arts. Harrow Open Studios wants to develop opportunities for emerging visual artists to be displayed and celebrated by everyone.
The gallery was initially set up in 2012 with lottery funding by a group of artists in Harrow and it was saved from closure in 2022 by a group of artists in Harrow. If we want to ensure that it stays as a designated art gallery, we need to use it. If we want to show that there is a need for a better facility for the hundreds of thousands of people in Harrow we need to fill it to bursting with the art that is already happening in and around Harrow. This exhibition is part of Harrow Open Studios’ aim, to celebrate visual art in Harrow, to show the people of Harrow that they are a creative force, to introduce them to the fact that they have a gallery they can use and to work towards a thriving public gallery in the future.
Come and see what our young poeple have created and tell everybody about it.
