Welcome to Artists Open Studios 2011

This year’s open studios event includes 107 of the most committed and greatest artists in Sheffield and South Yorkshire, making and demonstrating and exhibiting their work in a range of non-traditional studios and venues, all completely free of charge.

April 30th
May 1st
May 2nd (Bank Holiday)
May 7th
May 8th

Opening Times: 11am to 5pm - unless otherwise stated.

You can walk into working studios with no prior appointment across 2 weekends, and will be welcomed by a range of artists of different genres, who produce an astonishing array of quality, creative work in every style and medium imaginable. This is your chance to come and see what they do, how they do it, and to talk to them about why they do it.

This year, we have awarded 10 bursaries to selected artists, funded by the Unite union, a local philanthropist, a former government minister and Open Up Sheffield. As we are a volunteer-run organisation, we would like to thank our donors and volunteers for their generosity and action in supporting our participants this year.

Open Up Sheffield has established a national reputation for excellence and quality over the last 12 years, and we are currently in discussions with a range of partners, to ensure that our exciting plans for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the London 2012 Olympics, are realised.

We hope to update everyone on the exciting news towards the end of the year - come back to this web site for regular news and to subscribe to our newsletter.
