Ever wanted to nose around an artist's home? That's just what people are being invited to do at this year's ArtHouse the Annual Open Studios Art Festival.

More than 100 artists across Richmond are opening their homes and private studios to the public to exhibit their unique works of art. Works on display this year include a fine selection of paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics, glass and textiles.

Now in its eighth year, ArtHouse has become one of the biggest and best art events of its kind in the country.

Catherine Crozier, one of the many artists exhibiting in this year's festival, said: "ArtHouse is great because it gives people the rare opportunity to meet artists within the extraordinary intimacy of their own homes and private studios.

"From Barnes to Hampton artists will open their doors to some of the most interesting venues. People can decide how they plan their journey and there will be plenty of artists on hand to suggest a suitable place to stop for lunch!"
