Wandsworth Artists’ Open House 2012 takes place at several venues around Battersea on 6 – 7 and 13 – 14 October 2012. Registrations are now closed!
This blog has been set up as a forum to provide information for and about artists living and working in and around London SW11. The artists featured here all came together as part of the Wandsworth Artists’ Open House .
We aim to keep this forum as current and engaging as possible. As it builds, we hope it will cover:
- artist info, galleries and links to individual artist websites
- events - exhibitions, workshops, community art and other events in the area
- pointers on how and where to commission or purchase art
- information on how to partner with artists, whether you are a business, school or other local organisation

I always enjoy visiting the open houses in my area. Looks like you will have much more on offer this year so I’ll be sure to make a weekend of it.
Thanks Alina
We’ll keep you posted on new artists and events. Louise
Hi ,
I’m interested in taking part in selling my creative handmade things.can you please get in touch with me about the artfair. I’m building my website at the moment but I can send you some photos of my creations.
Thank you for your interest.

Great to hear from you!
Kindly send some images to info@louisegillardart.com and I’ll get those live for you on this site. If you also send your email address I can email you any further details on the Open House and how to register. Louise
Great to see so many artists at the Pump House last night, especially some new faces. Please keep in touch. If you missed yesterday there’s still time to make a further meeting at the Balham Bowls club, Ramsden Road, next Wednesday evening at 6:30pm. Thanks!
Really looking forward to the Open House weekend. It is great to hear that there is so much more going on this year.
And we look forward to seeing you. Thanks for your interest!
Loved the Open House last time round – hope even more people get involved next year. Guess you are busy getting works ready all year round. Janet
Loved the Open House last year – although my purse was a little less pleased as it was certainly lighter after the weekend! Looking forward to this year’s event too – got it booked in the diary already. Please keep me posted on any new artists joining in.
Look forward to seeing you again. Lots more artists to choose from this year so you might want to bring a bigger purse!
Looking forward to meeting art and jewellery lovers at our upcoming open house

Can’t wait for the next Open House events – coming up soon. It was so easy last time to walk to many different venues, which is so much nicer than driving in London.

Thanks Janet. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Hoping to see everyone at the taster show tomorrow, 17 September. We will be at St Barnabas church, 12 pm 4 pm, corner of Lavender Gardens and Clapham Common Northside. Plenty to see and buy, plus tea, coffee and cakes!
I’m looking forward to going along to the Open House event (the second weekend for me) and remember it’s well worth the visit and great fun to take a friend or two along with you. I’m looking forward to even more going on this year than last judging from all the info so I know we’ll have a great time.
