GET INVOLVED

KCAW is steered by a volunteering group of Advisory Members who meet monthly to discuss the direction of the festival programming, share ideas, support each other and other projects that elevate the creative framework of our area of West London. The advisory meetings are also attended by guests who may want to flag up exciting new initiatives in the area. 

We are an independent, not-for-profit annual festival, created by local volunteering professionals because there was nothing like it in Kensington + Chelsea, and there was a serious need to collaborate and provide support to local arts institutions no matter how big or small. The festival is still run by the same people who joined in 2018. We fundraise every year from scratch to fund the activities of Art Week, with Art Trail creating high-profile visibility for the festival.

We are now looking for ambassadors who may want to have a greater impact on the Art Week programming in relation to each zone (from North to South):

Zone 1: North Kensington

Zone 2: Notting Hill + Holland Park

Zone 3: Kensington Church Street

Zone 4: High Street Kensington 

Zone 5: South Kensington

Zone 6: Earl's Court

Zone 7: Sloane Square + King's Road

Zone 8: Old Chelsea + World's End

We have set a calendar of monthly socials where you can join our Advisory Board members to discuss the programming for each zone, learn about the new projects, and get your or your organisation involved.

When registering to join, please indicate which Zone you consider to be relevant to you and click the button if you would like to self-nominate to be the lead ambassador for the programming in that Zone. 

Please note that each meeting will be held at a different location to endorse the fantastic range of incredible institutions, private galleries, and artist studios across Kensigtnon + Chelsea, with the first to be held at The Design Museum. 

If you would like to host one of these socials at your venue, we would love to hear from you.
