A Winchester arts organisation has celebrated its 30th birthday.
The Colour Factory, a not-for-profit arts organisation based in the old Parkkeeper's Lodge, on the corner of Gordon Road, River Park, hosted its annual private view last month.
This event also marked the opening of its Hampshire Open Studio event and its 30th anniversary.
A spokesperson said: "We always look forward to Hampshire Open Studios, but even more so this year – our 30th birthday. We like to pull out all the stops and make sure that there is plenty to see, so as usual, we filled every corner that we could.

"The opening night was the cherry on top, giving us the opportunity to welcome in and share a drink with an assortment of friends, family, and lots of other people who have supported The Colour Factory along the way."
The spokesperson added: "Truly an incredible community event – The Colour Factory is a wonderful place where people come together to create and thrive.
"We’re looking forward to the next 30 years of welcoming back familiar faces and opening our doors to new ones too."
The Colour Factory provides artist studios, teaching space, and community projects.
It is run by Jenny Muncaster, Rosie Parmley, and Emily Smith.
The organisation is known for its painted bollards throughout the Square and on Parchment Street.
