South East Open Studios

Water Hole, Oil on board, 51x41 cm by Denise Laurent

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 next SEOS Event will take place on 4th - 20th June 2010. A wide range of work will be on show from traditional oil and watercolours to ceramics, textiles and fine metalwork. The event will be free to the public and a full colour guide will be published in May that includes a description of each artist's work with contact details, travel directions and maps. The 2009 guide and artist directory 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.

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. If you have details about arts events in south east England, items for sale or comments that you would like to share please feel free to post a message (you will need to sign up for a free message board account first).
