We are putting the artists of Wood Green on the map!

Unbelievably this is the 21st Chocolate Factory N22 Open Studios and this year it’s part of the new Love Wood Green Festival!

The Open Studios map shows 3 studio buildings Chocolate Factory 1, 2 and 3 where over 100 artists are opening their doors. We also have exhibitions of portraits by Michelle Eva May at Karamel, and abstract paintings by Joanna Wilkinson at The Green Rooms in Station Road, Wood Green N22.

The studios in Chocolate Factory 1-3 are home to painters, print-makers, photographers, designer-maker, jewellers, sculptors and ceramists. So, whether you are looking to liven-up your wardrobe or your living space, you need to check out the talent in Wood Green.

Collage Arts, the promoter of the N22 Open Studios and Love Wood Green Festival, has been at the cornerstone of the Wood Green Cultural Quarter for over 30 years. During this time they have created opportunities for thousands or creative people to get established. The latest programs show how diversity has been indelible etched on the ethos.

Making Creativity Work supports young people with a passion for fashion. Create Your Future is working with a group of Kurdish Women to turn their textile skills into enterprises. You can see what they have produced in the market stalls at Studio 28. If you think that the stalls look opulent it is because they will form part of the set for our spectacular Great Gatsby Christmas Party – you will not want to miss that.

Our inclusive programs are central to making Wood Green work for everyone …
Enjoy the Open Studios and Love Wood Green!
