High House Artist’s Open Studio

High House Artist’s Open Studios in association with Acme Studios

See the artists at work Friday 19th September -21st

I have been in my new artist studio for two months now, after moving from Second Floor in Woolwich, and I am very chuffed! With the location of the studios being right next to the Royal Opera House production park (where they build sets etc) you are guaranteed a creative hub like no other. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings make this space a lovely place to be and to work.

Invitation to High House Artists Open Studios

Very excited to announce the open studios. I was lucky to find such a space, a truly amazing building, vibe and a studio that I absolutely love!

After wandering around the artist’s studios and having a look at us in action, I hope you can join us for the Pop-Up Gallery at the Back Stage Centre with a Live Showcase afterwards (not sure what this will be but it sounds thrilling!)

At the roundabout with Purfleet Bypass, continue on the A1090 (London Road) for about 300 yards until you see signposts for the High House site which is on your right.

This weekend my studio is turning into a gallery with a solo show of my work that I have done throughout my two years at the studio.I can’t believe its been two years since I quit my job to allow myself the time and space to become an artist. Time flies when you are having fun! I am excited to see the response to my Surreal Surfboard on display for the first time! My work will be up to date and hanging on my studio walls for your eye balls to enjoy.For those who can’t make it to the open studio I will be posting lots of photos on my blog!:)

Secret Score Card Event

A chance to get a great piece at a bargain price of £20!

Can you spot an original masterpiece for just £20?

In the No Format Gallery (just below my studio) there will be hundreds of unique A5 pieces of art from emerging and established artists. Each piece is just £20 and 80% of the proceeds will go to support four chosen charities!

But there is a twist… the artist will be kept anonymous until after you purchase.
You can look at some of the uploaded pieces here and can purchase them online at the start of the event

I too will be entering three works!
