For the past four years, we've been growing the Studio Holder Show, previously known as the Woolwich Open Exhibition. This year marks our fifth year as we invite studio holders who plan to open their studio over the weekend to submit one piece to the gallery. All submissions are accepted. It's a great way to showcase the pieces created here, and hopefully provides visitors with a focus when exploring the site.
