The borough’s free Art House Open Studios Festival, coordinated by Arts Richmond, will take place over two weekends in June.
The festival encourages local artists, craftspeople, and community groups to open their homes, studios and venues to the public to highlight their creativity.

Individual artists, groups, and arts organisations will showcase a wide array of artworks on the weekends of June 14 and 15, and June 21 and 22.
They will welcome visitors from 11am to 5pm each day.
Councillor John Coombs, Arts Richmond spokesperson, said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring this festival to life across the borough for another year.
“It is beneficial for both residents of the borough as well as visitors who can explore what Richmond has to offer; it’s an inclusive event for the whole community, and you can discover a wealth of creativity on your doorstep.”
Arts Richmond is an independent charity championing the arts and culture across Richmond.
It is affiliated with more than 100 societies and organisations within the borough.
Details of all the venues participating in the festival, as well as special events and demonstrations taking place across the borough, will be available by early May.
