A group exhibition of original and limited edition artworks from artists in Richmond upon Thames will take place at Premier House, Twickenham, from 16 December - 20 February.

 Independent charity Arts Richmond has been given free use of this prime office space through The Artists Window.

Curated by Catherine Sweet, local artist and Founder of BobCat Gallery, all works in the exhibition will be for sale and proceeds will benefit Arts Richmond's work to support drama, literature, music and visual arts across the borough.

Speaking about the exhibition, Sweet said: "It's a pleasure to be able to show local artists' work and support Arts Richmond in this way, with the generous support of local landlords who value arts and culture.

"This show will include a huge variety of local talent, including paintings, drawings, printmaking, sculpture and photography. "This is also a wonderful chance to demonstrate how important art can be in a workspace.

"Not only can art help to create a welcoming environment, evidence shows that the thoughtful inclusion of artwork in offices and other workspaces has the potential to improve employee wellbeing and reduce everyday stress, and may also positively impact employee productivity, creativity and commitment to their organisation." 

The exhibition will be available by appointment (Monday - Friday), and a private view, festive celebration and Curator's Tour will be offered on Monday, 22 December between 4.30pm - 7.30pm. Free tickets are available here.

Sweet will also offer a free tour of the exhibition for local business owners on Monday, 12 January, sharing further insight on how to enhance their own workspaces with original art and details of affordable art rentals available across the area.
