Our Artist Community is a free network for local emerging and professional visual artists. The network meets three times a year and is an opportunity to get to know other artists, share opportunities and learning, and hear from organisations that can support your practice.

The Artist Community is open to artists who live, work or study in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. 

Email us if you are an arts organisation and would like to reach out to the network.

Join us for our next Artist Community Meet-Up on 12 March from 6-7.30pm.  We will be discussing how commercial art galleries work with artists. Lovisa Berntson Vit, Director of Berntson Bhattacharjee Gallery, joins us to talk about how commercial galleries find artists, how they sell artists’ work and how artists can create opportunities for themselves.  

More details and to book the March Artist Community meet up. 

Join us at the café at Orleans House Gallery on the third Wednesday of each month for a cuppa and a chat with your fellow artists from 1.30-3pm.

Just drop-in on the day – there is no need to book.
