All The Things was an inter-generational exhibition by artists Abigail Hunt, Lucy McDonald and Matt Shaw. It ran until Friday 31 August 2026.

The artists collaborated with people from across the Richmond borough, aged from six months to ninety-four. Together, they explored one shared question: how can play and imagination transform everyday life?

Abigail, Lucy and Matt worked with the following groups to bring the exhibition to life:

  • Curious Tots, Orleans House Gallery
  • Ham Children’s Centre
  • Age UK Richmond
  • Orleans House Gallery Volunteers
  • St Richard’s Primary School, Ham
  • Culture 4 Keeps and the Children in Care Council
  • Achieving for Children
