Open Studios

Open Studios West Berkshire and North Hampshire is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by a committee of volunteers made up of artists and other professionals who generously donate their time each year to ensure the scheme runs efficiently and within budget.

The scheme was set up in 1988 to celebrate the diversity of visual arts available within the local community. We strive to create a dialogue between artists and the community by encouraging members of the public to visit artists’ studios.

Open Studios runs in association with the Newbury Spring Festival.

What we offer

Every May our artists open their studios and exhibitions free of charge and are happy to talk about their creative process with visitors. We work to make entering any art space a comfortable experience, to encourage and promote accessibility to art and artists. Works of arts are normally for sale but there is no obligation to buy, the focus is on enjoying your visit.

As a visitor to Open Studios during May you can:

- Collect a free copy of our full-colour printed Directory of Artists from Newbury Corn Exchange, Tourist Information Centres, Libraries, Town Halls and Museums in the area.

- Plan your day by visiting at Arlington Arts the INSIGHT exhibition, our showcase of work by all participating artists representing a diverse range of visual arts including sculpture, paintings, drawings, textiles, glass, jewellery, metalwork and furniture making.

- Visit artist studios - over 100 artists open their doors each year!

- Visit other group exhibitions at Benchmark, Newbury Corn Exchange, Newbury Library, The Watermill Theatre and West Berkshire Community Hospital.

- Take part in a Hands-on Workshop – there are fiveon offer this year.

Artist accreditation

Every artist who takes part in our Open Studios has been required to gain accreditation to the scheme which is vital in maintaining the high standards of the creative work on view.
You are welcome

We welcome any person, artists or otherwise, who feel that they could contribute in some way to the scheme. This could be in a professional capacity such as fundraising, accounts, marketing, taking minutes, administration or making teas at events. If you think you can help please get in touch.
