Over a 16-day period, over 400 of our registered artists open their homes, studios and pop-up exhibitions to the public.  While many people find it daunting to visit an art gallery, they often feel more comfortable going to a public space like a village hall, church or shared studio space – enabling our artists to display their art to a much broader audience. 

Across the years, over 1,800 individual artists have got involved in our summer event with a small handful having taken part in each one and 30 artists having done at least ten.

We also offer our artists other opportunities to promote and sell their work at different events throughout the year. 

As a self-funded organisation, we are run entirely by volunteers who are all artists themselves or art enthusiasts.
