Following on from the success of our Virtual Winter Festival, we are launching our Celebration of Colour which runs for the month of May. Artwork in a variety of forms includes paintings, prints, illustrations, sculptures, jewellery, ceramics, wood turning and textiles. This is a great opportunity to get a taste of the artists involved and plan your studio visits.

The artists of Harrow Open Studios work in diverse medias, many of whom offer art classes, talks and workshops to members of the public of all ages and abilities. We are featuring many new artists this year as well as celebrating our long-standing members. Studios can be visited throughout June and July, and the dates will be available here.
