What does Open Studios do for you? | Herts Visual Arts

From 9th September - 1st October Herts Open Studios is connecting members with art-lovers in a new way – providing an exceptional opportunity for inspiration, discovery and, perhaps, a purchase (or two, or three) direct from the artist. 

There will be individual studios, a select number of galleries, artist services and retail locations also joining in.

For more than 30 years Open Studios remains a popular and well-established part of the Hertfordshire annual art calendar. The largest Free to Visit event in the county, it’s funded by the artists who take part, commercial advertising, and other sponsorship where available.

As part of Herts Open Studios you join all other artists as equal partners – our success relies on everyone working together. In applying for Herts Open Studios you are, therefore, agreeing to all of the information/terms on our website.
