South East Open Studios

Every year in June, artists and craftspeople across south east England open their doors to the public. It is a unique opportunity to meet, talk to and see them at work as part of the South East Open Studios event.
The SEOS Event took place on 5th - 21st June 2009 with 270 artists and craftspeople taking part. A wide range of work was on show from traditional oil and watercolours to ceramics, textiles and fine metalwork.

As usual, the event was free to the public and a full colour guide was published and distributed in May. It included a description of each artist's work with contact details, travel directions and maps. The guide is still available in PDF format on the downloads page.

We are always interested to hear from artists who would like to join us. If you would like to participate next year or want to know more, please click on How to Join or contact us.

SEOS Guide 2009
We had a warm welcome from all the artists / craftspeople and they were more than happy to talk and demonstrate their skills – super days out.

The SEOS website includes information about all of the artists participating in SEOS. Events and opportunities can be found on the message board.
