Join us for a weekend of open studios at ACAVA Hythe Road Studios and explore creativity in your community.
As part of ACAVA Opens, meet local artists, visit their workspaces, and discover a variety of creative practices, including painting, sculpture, multimedia, and textiles. Whether you’re interested in learning about the creative process, browsing original artwork for sale, or simply enjoying a creative afternoon, there’s something for everyone.
Join ACAVA Curator Georgia Taylor Aguilar for a guided tour of our studios on Sunday 18 May, followed by a Q&A. Discover the significance of our studio community and its rich collective history.
The studios are a short walk from the Grand Union Canal and Wormwood Scrubs Park, so it’s easy to make a day of your visit with time outdoors or exploring the local area.
This event builds on the legacy of ArtWest, a collective of artists, designers and makers based in studio buildings across the Hythe Road industrial estate, including ACAVA, APEX House and the Danny Lane Studio.
