North Yorkshire Open Studios invites the public to see inside the usually
private world of artists, gain an insight into the creative process, see
exclusive new work and explore a variety of inspiring locations along
the way.
Over the first two weekends in June, 101 selected artists and makers are
opening their studios across North Yorkshire; a chance to buy and take
home cutting-edge craft and design, contemporary sculpture, paintings
and ceramics. Look out for the emerging artists, recently graduated or new
to the professional scene, and hoping to make their mark with fresh ideas
and creative energy.

Dales area
The Yorkshire Dales includes some of the finest limestone
scenery in the UK, from crags and pavements to an underground
labyrinth of caves. Each valley or ‘dale’ has its own distinct
character, set against expansive heather moorland tops.
Stone-built villages sit among traditional farming landscapes
of field barns, drystone walls and flower-rich hay meadows.
Spectacular waterfalls and ancient broad-leaf woodland
contrast with the scattered remains of former mine workings
and other rural industries, which remind us of the area’s rich
industrial heritage.
Together, nature and people have created a special landscape
of immense beauty and character to which artists are drawn
for inspiration

most rugged and charming countryside, from tiny fishing
villages clinging to rocky cliffs to glorious stretches of white

Inland, the wonderful North York Moors are a breath of fresh

closer and you’ll discover historic abbeys, castles and priories,
traditional pubs and ‘hidden’ villages and hamlets.
