Castlepoint Artists Open Studios (CAOS) is here to help local creatives in the area connect with art & craft loving audiences in non-traditional art spaces such as the artists’ own studios, homes, local shops & businesses.

We help co-ordinate and promote an Art Trail, Exhibition, Workshops & Events in Castle Point District of Essex during October.

We are an inclusive group, encouraging participation from artists, creatives & makers of all ages, at all stages of their careers, and from all parts of the community.
