Free entry to artist studios, events and exhibitions across Hertfordshire #HERTSOPENSTUDIOS 7th - 29th September 2019
Welcome to Open Studios 2019 Our signature thumbprint this year represents the unique individual style of each of our artists and venues, from first-timers to long-standing participants opening their doors. We have community groups, a school community project, collaborations and individual artists: as always, an exciting 3-week art journey around Hertfordshire. It’s Free: Venues are free to enter, with a mix of working studios, demonstrations, exhibitions, workshops and more. From early designs to finished pieces, you can see and experience work first-hand. You might even be able to try something yourself. New online: Optimised for mobile, our website now has even more information. We may be biased but we think the new map-based search is an amazing way for you to navigate by venue, artist, artform and date. You can join the social media story with #HertsOpenStudios too. Check our website: Our most accurate information is on-line, perhaps with special events, local art trails, up-to-date opening hours and more. From this year, there are also more artists on-line than in print, so be sure to check before you set out. And our brochure: Build your own personal art trail from index pages, through colour-coded venue listings to our handy map inside the back cover. If you need quick information on who’s open on a particular date, then our cross-reference planner is the place to start. Finding an Open Studio: Look for yellow bunting, direction arrows and banners outside venues. They are like a friend to welcome you at the gate, saying come on in. Launch Weekend 7th & 8th September: Special launch events include our 2-day Open Studios Showcase (Venue 71) in the Assembly Room at St Albans Museum + Gallery. Remember to check both on- line and in your local press for the latest news. And finally: Every year I plan to visit as many venues as possible and continue to be blown away by both the warmth in every welcome and the amazing inspiration and insights I gain. It’s all about meeting artists, finding out more about them and their work. #HertsOpenStudios is such a fantastic opportunity to join in and refresh your creative self – what will you discover?
