Open Studios 2024 - Artist Registration open until 14th February
Artists - sign up for Open Studios : 8th-9th June and 15th-16th June 2024 - welcoming all artists of all backgrounds, ages, disciplines and experience.
Want to Take Part?
Approximately 13,000 copies of the Open Studios Directory are printed annually and distributed across the South West and beyond. The directories are often kept for years to come, so it can be a really valuable way for people to discover and remember your work (or collective, organisation or venue) long after Site Festival has finished for the year.
To have your information in the directory you can :
- Take part in Open Studios and register as an Open Studios Artist
- Have a Listing and Feature in the directory, for an exhibition/event
- Have a Display Advert
Artist Bursaries
We are offering 5 Artist Bursaries for artists aged 30 and under, to work with an established artist mentor.
The bursary will include:
- a fully funded Open Studios registration, with the value of £226.
- mentor match with an established OS Artist
- and the opportunity to use the Site Festival platform to further your art practice and visability.
Haven't got a studio to open?
Let us know if you are having trouble finding a studio as we might be able to help. We are working with lots of different artists and partner organisations and there may be a space for you in a mill building, empty shop or another artist's studio.
We’ve added another question to the form where you can say you need to find a studio, and also if you have a studio to share.
How much does it cost?
It varies depending on your situation. The registration fees are in a tiered system to give artists more opportunities to take part with discounts for groups of artists and young artists. Open Studio Fees range from £41 to £220 depending on discounts and support work offered.
