Several organisations including Sutton Mental Health Foundation, HMP High Down, Orchard Hill College and Scola have been invited to prepare and show work from October 13 - 18.
The event is being co-ordinated by ArtsNetwork Sutton and there will be a private view of the art works before it is officially opened by Sutton's Mayor Councillor Arthur Hookway.
"The primary purpose of this exhibition is for Groups, who include the making of art as one of their activities, where many of whose members would not normally have the opportunity to have their work displayed for family, friends and the general public to see," said David Tribe ANS Exhibition Organiser.
"This will encourage most of them to continue to produce more work with pleasure and enthusiasm, regardless of proficiency level.
"So, we urge everyone to visit the exhibition and to encourage as many as possible to view the artworks.
"Work will not be for sale at the exhibition, but visitors will be encouraged to contact the specific exhibiting group direct if they see something they would like to buy," he added.
There is a special prize of £50 for the work judged to most effectively illustrate an ‘ECO’ theme but the "Eco" theme if by no means compulsory.
