Each July Isle of Wight artists and makers open their homes or studios to the public for two Open Studios weekends. Open Studios gives you the opportunity to meet local artists in their working environment, find out about how they work and should you choose, make a purchase direct from the artist. Open Studios gives artists and businesses the unique opportunity to manage their own event, exhibiting work in a way which works best for them and to demonstrate working processes.
Open studios are as wide and varied as you can imagine, some take place in an artist’s home, work room, or garden, others in professional studios or business premises. The beauty of visiting several studios is that each is unique, with its own idiosyncrasies. You’re sure to come away feeling inspired. Some areas produce a trail map, so it’s worth asking and visiting others on the trail if you can. When you see the red Open Studios flags, you know you’ve arrived!
