Carshalton Artists and Arts Network Sutton artists were recently asked to exhibit pieces of work that expressed their personal experiences of Lockdown. This was added to the Local Diaries project (run by Sutton Council) and work produced by Sutton South Hello to create the current exhibitions at Honeywood Museum and Whitehall Historic House entitled ‘LOCKDOWN ART: Creativity Released’. Neil Vaughan, from Carshalton Artists, recorded an informal walk around Whitehall and Honeywood whilst interviewing Jane Howard, Sutton's Heritage Development Officer: Learning. The Exhibition is now showing live at both venues, and visits may be booked for Honeywood Museum here, and for Whitehall here. Our Exhibition of the works of local artists' scenes around the River Wandle over time is now available for live viewing during Honeywood Museum's revised, and limited, opening hours. The Museum is open from 10:00 to 17:00 on Fridays and Saturdays only. Entry will be free, but should be pre-booked from here, where all further details, and what to expect on arrival, are outlined.
