Open Studios 2025: We have now closed for entries, but have had a bumper number of artists apply this year! Watch this space for more info.

​Our very first exhibition, in 2010, was held mainly in the United Church, Crowborough, with local shop windows also showcasing local artists' work. This morphed into Open Studios, with more or less that same form as we have it today.

Last year, we had a record 45 artists taking part across 19 venues. In addition to our Crowborough participants, we now have a well-established hub in Fairwarp, and several venues in Mayfield.

The variety and quality of work on display seems to get better each year, ranging from emerging artists to established professional practitioners. Whether you're interested in paintings or drawings, ceramics, jewellery, or textiles, there's something for everyone. 

We're looking forward to welcoming several new artists to this year's Open Studios, and of course to working with everyone who's supported us in the past.
