Explore 80 artists across 29 locations around CarshaltonAbout this EventIn 2026, Carshalton Artists Open Studios (CAOS) celebrates a remarkable milestone — its 10th anniversary! Over the past decade, CAOS has grown into one of South London’s most vibrant community arts events, bringing together artists, residents, and visitors in a shared celebration of creativity.This year’s CAOS26 trail promises to be bigger and better than ever, featuring nearly 80 artists across 29 locations. Studios, homes, and galleries will once again open their doors across Carshalton village, stretching down through Carshalton Beeches to Oaks Park — all within easy walking distance.One of the festival’s “golden artists,” Able Kesteven, who has exhibited every year since CAOS began in 2017, reflects:“Art is a form of therapy — both in taking part and in experiencing it. Talking to artists who are passionate about what they do seems to have a positive effect on the local community.”Celebrating a Decade of Community CreativityCommunity lies at the heart of this year’s celebrations. Sutton Council Cultural Services will host a special 10th anniversary exhibition telling the story of CAOS. The show will feature selected works by the golden artists, alongside photographs and personal recollections that capture the joy, fun, and connection the event brings year after year.Look out, too, for an exhibition of spoken word at Honeywood and Carole Baker’s wondrous woolly creations. A special art workshop with Pia Jamie will take place at Little Holland House on Saturday 28 June, 2–3.30pm, inspired by Frank Dickinson’s embossed copper plate panels. The house will be open to visitors from 11am–5pm.Teen Creativity in Full BloomTeen CAOS — the youth arts programme launched in 2021 — returns for its fourth year at the Corner Gallery. Open to teenagers from across Sutton, the initiative offers a hands-on introduction to the professional art world, helping young participants understand how artists present, market, and sell their work.Jackie Khan, owner of the Corner Gallery and a founding CAOS member, says:“Grassroots community arts like CAOS thrive because the engagement with friends, neighbours, and local businesses is incredible. Everyone wants the arts to flourish as much as we do.”Open-Air Art and a Wider CelebrationRounding off the festivities, a pop-up exhibition outside the Fox & Hounds pub on Carshalton High Street will present CAOS26 artists’ works in a six-week open-air display, offering art for everyone to enjoy day and night.All of this forms part of the Carshalton Festival 2026, running Saturday 27 June to Sunday 5 July, a week packed with culture, connection, and celebration. The festival features a mix of free and ticketed events, including live music, drama, film, spoken word, and family-friendly activities — ensuring there’s something for everyone. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/carshalton/caos-2026-carshalton-artists-open-studios-10th-anniversary/100001989848716075 - **Event Categories**: art, entertainment, festivals, music, exhibitions, performances, workshops, live-music, theatre, trips-adventures, spoken-word, pop-ups, music-festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Carshalton - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Carshalton - **lat**: 51.3681318 - **long**: -0.1674154 - **full address**: Carshalton, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: CAOS 2026 – Carshalton Artists Open Studios 10th Anniversary - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/ce304ea9d287715f81c84fdeb3d0097b0e78483027e53f1d5233ba6cf4af5058-rimg-w1080-h1350-dc6565ad-gmir.jpg?v=1779146998 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is CAOS 2026 – Carshalton Artists Open Studios 10th Anniversary being held? - **A:** CAOS 2026 – Carshalton Artists Open Studios 10th Anniversary takes place on Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 05 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Carshalton, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing CAOS 2026 – Carshalton Artists Open Studios 10th Anniversary? - **A:** CAOS 2026 – Carshalton Artists Open Studios 10th Anniversary is organized by Carshalton Artists. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
