Explore Richmond’s trees through collective art and shared dialogue

On Thursday 23 and Friday 24 October, join us for a collective art display and an inspiring conversation exploring creativity, collaboration, and environmental awareness.

This past summer, we marked Clean Air Day with art workshops, resulting in a collective piece now on display. What’s more, we invite you to join a public conversation exploring how art and environmental awareness can grow together.

Trees: The Lungs of Richmond art display

Thanks to our Clean Air Day workshop participants, a collective artwork has been created and will be on display. Using botanical monoprinting, watercolour explorations, and bark rubbing, participants crafted images inspired by the importance of trees as the lungs of Richmond. Now, these individual impressions come together to form a shared tree-landscape, shaped by many hands and perspectives.

• Date and time: Thursday 23 October, 9am to 12.30pm and 5 to 8pm, and Friday 24 October, 9am to 3pm 
• Location: Hyde room, York House, Twickenham, TW1 3AA 

From Roots to Canopies: Art as a Shared Practice

On Friday 24 October, join local artist Paloma Durante for a free session exploring how creativity and environmental awareness can generate meaningful learning experiences and community collaboration. Explore and exchange ideas for developing projects in low-budget and group settings. Hear about inspiring projects developed by leading artistic figures who have transformed everyday materials and DIY processes into collective artworks.

• Date: Friday 24 October
• Time: 6.15pm
• Location: Hyde room, York House, Twickenham, TW1 3AA
