GET INVOLVED
Warwickshire Open Studios is a not-for-profit organisation run by local artists and art-loving volunteers for the benefit of our registered artists. We support a number of creative opportunities throughout the year. Our main event, Summer Art Weeks, will take place from 20 June to 5 July 2026. Registration and sign-up for this event will open in December. To stay in touch subscribe to our mailing list.
ARTIST REGISTRATION
Involvement with WOS is designed to develop stronger links between artists in and around Warwickshire and Coventry. Our main focus is the Summer Art Weeks, but we also provide access to networking events and advice / guidance to support your practice. You must take out artists registration to be involved with our events (except for the Plein Air event). REGISTRATION FOR 2026 WILL OPEN IN DECEMBER.
As a true celebration of the variety and quality of visual art available locally, Summer Art Weeks is open to all – from passionate amateurs to professional artists, across all mediums.
Sign-up for entering WOS Summer Art Weeks 2026 will open in December.
CONNECT is a service provided for the Summer Art Weeks to help artists find venues and venues find artists. You can now sign up to register yourself as an artist looking for a venue or venue looking for artist.
Finding your place in the creative arena can be a real challenge – irrespective of whether you are emerging from tertiary education with a new art degree or making a lifestyle change from the safety of employment.
History shows that taking part in WOS Summer Art Weeks can be an essential catalyst and fantastic support network for the journey to becoming an artist.
