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 next SEOS event will take place on 1st - 17th June 2012.

The SEOS 2011 event took place from 3rd - 19th June with 312 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. The next event will take place on 1st - 17th June 2012.

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.
