Become a Friend of HOS

For lovers of art who want to support visual art in their area and artists who do not feel they are at the stage of their artistic career to fulfil full Harrow Open Studio membership we have developed an invite to become a Friend of HOS. If you are interested please complete this very simple on-line form and read the full details of what this offers below:

Join us here as a Friend of HOS

Background:  Friends of HOS was developed in discussion with several members and past members who felt they could no longer open their studios to the public but did not want to leave the community of HOS artists that they had been part of.  It was agreed at the AGM in 2023 that HOS would instigate a lower level of membership that allowed past members, interested artists and those who want to support visual art access to join in HOS networking, social activities, and selective exhibitions.
