KAOS is a group of professional, semi-professional and experienced artists living and working in the Kingston area.
Our unfunded, voluntary group was set up in 2010 to raise the profile of and broaden access to the visual arts in Kingston. Since then we have built up a diverse membership of artists and makers working out of their own spaces in and around the borough.
Each year we open our studios to the public during three weekends in the summer for the annual Kingston Artists Open Studios.
Please find the full programme in the catalogue here!
