Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios

Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios celebrates its 25th year in 2019.

One of the most successful Open Studios schemes in the country is set to celebrate its 25^th anniversary this year with more than 430 artists flinging open their studio doors to the public.

The 16-day celebration of Norfolk’s artistic community runs from Saturday 25 May to Sunday 9 June 2019.

The free event will see artists throughout the county opening their doors to the public to exhibit, sell and talk about their work and practice.

Having established itself as one of the largest open studios schemes in the country, it gives visitors the opportunity to see new art, meet artists, and - with many of the works on display being for sale - to buy original artworks directly from their creators.

This year 430 artists will be taking part in the scheme across 250 venues.

The event annually attracts thousands of visitors and in 2018 more than 36,000 people flocked to studios across Norfolk.

Numerous associated trails take place, allowing visitors to enjoy several studios in one day. Art demonstrations, private views, workshops and talks also make up this key event.

Internationally renowned artists as well as artists new to the scheme take part each year.

One visitor last year said: “Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios is a really lovely way to explore Norfolk as it takes you to places you might not otherwise visit.”

Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios 2019 will take place between Saturday 25 May and Sunday 9 June 2019.

Venues are across Norfolk- St Etheldreda artist studio is central to the county.
