Teddington Lock will play host to an art exhibition launching next week, displaying pieces capturing the landscapes of the Richmond borough by some of the most talented local artists.

Teddington Unlocked, will be staged at Teddington Riverside - a collection of new homes for sale in one of the most coveted locations overlooking the Thames.

The exhibition will bring together a collection of art, paintings and drawings depicting riverscapes, street scenes, wildlife and Thameside meadows, as well as sculptures and figurative works.

The exhibition will launch on Saturday 1st October from 12 noon to 3pm, organised by Teddington Riverside. Arts Richmond, a voluntary organisation working to promote and support art and cultural activity within the borough, will receive 10% of profits from art sold at the exhibition.

Exhibition curator Catherine Sweet, of BobCat Gallery, said: " I am delighted to work with Teddington Riverside to bring together such a fantastic collection of artwork from talented local artists, in such a beautiful location.

"This show features a diverse and lively selection of techniques and subjects inspired by the local area, and all work is available for sale. Sales will benefit the work of Arts Richmond, championing arts and culture for all across the borough and beyond."
