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 2026 IS NOW CLOSED – click here to view our 2026 artists.

Prices for 2026
Individual or organisation – £105 (same as 2025)
For the 2026 Summer Art Weeks we have introduced a new streamlined fee structure where all participating artists pay the same fee, regardless of venue size or how many artists are sharing a space. We have removed the previous group discount categories to create a fairer, simpler system.
Every artist 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. 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 exhibiting at more than one venue, any additional entries are at the discounted rate of £55. Once you have completed and paid for your first entry you then complete the relevant form for subsequent entries and the discount is automatically applied at checkout.
