The Lewisham Art House

Situated at the Back of New Cross 5 mins from Goldsmiths College, Lewisham Art House is a volunteer led organisation/collective of artists which provides rent-able studio and gallery space for fellow practitioners. Unfortunately the Open Studios event has now ended; however, the show Raw Visions will be coming up in November featuring Marta Addari, Michela Balloi, Paolo Bianchi, Alice Cadeddu, Costantino Caiafa, Giusy Calia, Gianni Casagrande, Pietro Costa, Mario Fois, Vincenzo Grosso,  Roberto Marras, Giuseppe Moro, Vincenzo Pattusi, Cici Peis and Paola Usala.
The open studios did show some of the great art that is coming out the area, with artist such as Rosey Prince, who creates some wonderful atmospheric prints of architecture, or Ben Varney's work on the figure. 
Housing artists and art works is not the only thing that goes on here, there are also workshops and educational programmes which make for an exciting center for art in South East London.
