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).

A quick reminder that a few artists, despite a couple of email reminders, still haven't submitted their images for the brochure and the website. Please can those artists do so by 30th April at the latest as we need to start planning the brochure.
Images should be emailed to [email protected]
Many thanks.
