This year's Ealing Autumn Festival is based around the theme of Truth and Reconciliation - with one of the highlights an exhibition of paintings that will tour libraries across the borough.
The exhibition by a group of Hanwell -based artists launched at Ealing Central Library on Saturday (April 23), and continues at various venues until January 2017.
It is being run in conjunction with Ealing Libraries and CCS (Cultural Community Solutions) and will form a major part of this year's Ealing Autumn Festival.
The exhibition takes an abstract view of Truth and Reconciliation and is being put together by many of the artists who contributed to last year's Magna Carta themed exhibition .
Festival artistic director Gillian Spragg said: "After the great success of the Magna Carta in 2015, we are tremendously thrilled that Ealing Libraries and CCS have invited us to bring another exhibition to tour the libraries throughout Ealing.
"The group of Ealing artists has promised a new and very different approach from that of last year and I am waiting with real anticipation to see the final result that is being created.
"Each library will have its own 'open day' during the course of the touring exhibition where local residents and library visitors can make a special visit and try out a variety of arts and craftwork with accompanying talks and story-telling."
The artists involved are Maggie Le Rougetel, Naomi Healy, Samantha Rough and Helen Tyler, all of whom contributed to last year's exhibition, assisted by aspiring young artist Batrisyie Hussain.
Samantha said: "We are thrilled to have been commissioned to produce artwork on such an inspiring and indefinite theme as Truth and Reconciliation and have all interpreted the theme in different and exciting ways."
Hanwell student Batrisyie said: "I am thrilled to be involved with this project and with so much community spirit and involvement, it is sure to be a success."
The artists, who are part of the 4020 Art Group, have been busy working on the project from their studio at Hanwell Community Centre.
The launch of the exhibition at Ealing Central Library from 1pm to 4pm commemorated 400 years since the death of Shakespeare and included talks, art and craft work and other events.
It will continue at the library in the Broadway Shopping Centre until May 5 before moving to Acton Library on its tour around the borough.
