With over 60 talented artists, an art trail route includes over twenty locations across the picturesque and historical Carshalton village and surrounding area. Visitors can see a wide range of artwork including ceramics, painting, drawing, photography, video, printmaking, textiles, glass and sculpture.
Helena Vaughan, founder of Carshalton Artists “This free event is much loved by the local community who continually tell us they find the trail both inspiring and uplifting. This year we have focused on deepening our excellent showcase by introducing more local and developing talent for all to enjoy’’

Visitors to CAOS are always impressed by the talent on show ‘a fabulous opportunity to meet local artists and see their place of work – so many mediums and so much talent’ was just one of the comments posted from the 2024 event.
