About Open Studios

Swindon Open Studios is organised by a committee of volunteers who are passionate about art and keen to publicise the artwork being produced in Swindon. It's when Swindon artists open their studio doors, or showcase their work in a number of venues over 2 weekends in September. How long has Open Studios been taking place in Swindon? The first Open Studios was in 2004, then 2006, and since 2008, there has been one every September (with the exception of 2020 and 2021 due to COVID).

Hi all... we received this message from a previous SOS artist, if anyone is interested, please contact her direct.

Hello
I’m getting in touch to ask if any of the artists who take part in Swindon Open Studios offer online (or in person, but we are in West Wales!) tutoring or demonstrations.

We are a small art group called Ponterwyd Art Club and are looking for artists / tutors for our monthly meeting.

Our budget is £100.00 for a 2 hour zoom session, with a 20 minute break. Usually held between 7-9pm on a Weds evening.

I used to take part in SOS when I lived in Wiltshire, and offered to contact you on behalf of the group.

With thanks

Margaret
