Opening your studio / home or coming together with other creatives in a shared space has so many benefits for artists. You can be creative about where you show your work: it could be at home, in a studio, workshop or garden. Pop-up exhibitions have been held in cafes, offices, barns, museums and church halls. Installations have even taken place in allotments, canal basins and railway carriages!
SIGN-UP FOR 2025 WILL OPEN AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

Prices for 2025
Individual or organisation – £105
You will get your own page on the Summer Art Weeks section of the website as well as your own text, image and details of your event in the printed brochure. This year all venues will automatically be included on an area specific map in the brochure which will be produced by the WOS team.
If you are going to be exhibiting at more than one venue as an individual artist then any additional entries will be at the discounted rate of £55. This option will be available through the account page, once you have completed your first entry.
We recommend artists enter as individuals (even if you are joining other artists at the same venue) to ensure you get the maximum exposure. But maybe you would prefer to join as a group to help keep costs down, particularly if there are a large number of you.
