2025 – Harrow Open Studios

Nicole Lyster

Nicole’s ceramic sculpture, ‘Harrow’ is a representation of her street: I live and work in Harrow, creating ceramic pieces in my garden studio, which I open to the public during Harrow Open Studios in June. This ceramic jar is a depiction of my street.

This exhibition invites residents of all ages to share their creative responses – whether through art, photography, poetry, or any medium that reflects their connection to Harrow. All submitted works will be displayed, celebrating the diversity, heritage, and spirit of our community.

White Cube Gallery Harrow Arts Centre, 171 Uxbridge Road, Hatch End, HA5 4EA

Thu 8 May – Thu 24 Jul 2025

FREE TO VIEW between 10am and 5pm week days

Harinder Sahota

Harinder’s work delves into the idea that the objects we gather throughout our lives can become extensions of who we are, deeply entwined with memory and emotion.

Her latest series focuses on people from her own community and the cherished items they hold close—featuring portraits of artist Ketna Patel, psychology student Anya Bhogal, yoga teacher Mita Shah, and concluding with a self-portrait. These four paintings will be showcased as part of a larger exhibition in Edinburgh this June.

26 June – 19 July 2025 | St. Margaret’s House, Edinburgh

In light of these historic occasions, the members of Harrow Open Studios have come together to create a diverse and inspiring collection of artworks that pay tribute to these Anniversaries, capturing the essence of our shared history while also reflecting their unique perspectives and interpretations.

Anniversaries invites you to celebrate 2025. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a history buff, or simply curious about the creative expressions of your neighbours, this exhibition promises to be a thought-provoking and enriching experience for all.
