KAOS is a group of professional, semi-professional and experienced artists living and working in the Kingston area.

Our unfunded, voluntary group was set up in 2010 to raise the profile of and broaden access to the visual arts in Kingston. Since then we have built up a diverse membership of artists and makers working out of their own spaces in and around the borough.

Each year we open our studios to the public during two weekends in the summer for the annual Kingston Artists Open Studios. Registration for Open Studios 2022 is now open. For more information see our Open Studios page.

The popular annual Young KAOS competition has, sadly, been suspended for 2022.

Our members are also active throughout the year, taking part in exhibitions and events both nationally and internationally.
Please see our Events page for more details.

More information about individual members can be found on our Artists page, or via a category search on the Medium page.
