WHAT ELSE DID OUR ARTISTS DO?...

OPEN STREETS
Locations across central Carshalton
An open air exhibition of artwork by all CAOS22 artists accompanied by written pieces from the members of Sutton Writers group.
Open Streets came about when covid prevented us from opening our studios but due to its popularity, we're doing it again this year.
They can be found on lamp posts, railings etc. So keep your eyes open for laminated creations all around central Carshalton!
WATER EXHIBITION
HONEYWOOD MUSEUM
Honeywood Walk SM5 3NX
Sat 11th June - Sat 23rd July
This year Honeywood Museum plays host to 7 artists as a trail location alongside our CAOS artists water themed exhibition.
Come and see a wide range of 2D and 3D work by our artists as well as visiting them on the trail.

YARN BOMB
Carshalton Ponds
Look closely and you'll spot a range of adorable woolly creations around the ponds and in the Honeywood garden.
The yarn bombs were a huge hit with everyone during CAOS21 so we're really excited about them appearing again this year.
They could be hiding in trees, decorating railings or sitting on top of posts. Wherever they are, they're sure to be a hit again this year!

YOUNG ARTISTS
CORNER GALLERY
3 Gordon Rd SM5 3RG
We're really excited about an exhibition of artwork by selected young artists on display and available to buy. Gallery owner, Jackie Khan, has loved being involved in previous CAOS events and we love the energy she brings to what she does.
This opportunity gives these young artists the experience of being a professional artist. They're also being mentored by Jackie and selected artists. So we potentially have some future CAOS artists in the making!
