How do I take part in Open Studios?

First, select the "Yearly Membership" option, then select the type of Open Studio you wish to hold.You can either hold a Solo Open Studio,in your home or studio, or you can share your Open Studio with other individual artists, in a venue.

Each artist in a venue will need an entry and payment. This allows each to have an entry in the yearbook and website.

You can exhibit on some of the 11 days of the event, in one venue, and also another venue on other of the 11 days, but not at the same time.

You are expected to be with your exhibition wherever it is. Each location will need an entry fee.

When do I fill in the details about my Open Studios?

After you have clicked the "Continue to payment" and gone through the payment process successfully you will see an easy-to-use form for your details. This doesn't need to be completed right away, and you can always save it to come back to at a later date. There will be a deadline to complete the information by, but this will be made clear to you when you come to complete the form.

I don't want to take part in the Open Studios. Can I just be listed in your YearBook?

Yes. but you still need to select the "Yearly Membership" option, but you can then select the "Listing in Year Book" option.

I just want a page on the Isle of Wight Arts website and don't want to take part in the events.

That's fine too. Simply select the "Yearly Membership" option and you can enjoy all the same benefits as all the other members.

If you change your mind, simply return to this page and select more options.

What do I get for being a member of Isle of Wight Arts?

Isle of Wight Arts is an evolving organisation, created purely for the benefit of local artists. We will be adding new features to the website in the future and these will also be available to you.

Ok, that all sounds great! What do I do now?

SOLO OPEN STUDIO or SHARED OPEN STUDIO VENUE. Or LISTING IN THE YEARBOOK option.
