The aim of Southwell Open Studios is to make the visual arts more accessible to people, and to show the different approaches and techniques this varied group of painters, photographers and film-makers uses to create their work. Over two days you will be able to visit twelve venues, see work in progress and chat with the artists, who will also have work for sale. The past four Southwell Open Studios events 2004 – 2008 were hugely successful in attracting hundreds of visitors to the studios in Westhorpe and Westgate. This year we have invited guest artists to join us, who represent the ‘Plus’. As usual, the majority of our £3 weekend entrance fee to all twelve studios goes to charity. This year we have chosen ‘Sightsavers’, which provides basic eye care and restores sight to thousands in the developing world. A FREE minibus shuttle service will be in operation from 11am until 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The bus will be clearly marked SOS, and will travel between the venues, stopping at the red spots marked on your leaflet map. Tea, coffee and cakes, provided by the Southwell Care Project, will be served at venues 1 and 10.
All the participating artists in the group very much look forward to welcoming you to our ‘open studios’, and hope you will enjoy the weekend as much as we do. Download Southwell Open Studios Brochure 2010 |
