South East Open Studios (SEOS) is one of the most established annual open artist studio events in the UK. It has been running since 1996, showcasing creative talent and strengthening visual arts in our part of the South East.

SEOS brings together the work of hundreds of contemporary artists and makers around parts of Kent and East & Mid Sussex. Each year in June, artists and makers open their working studios to welcome the public. Every type of work is on show – sculpture, glass, jewellery, painting, wirework, woodwork, photography, textiles, and more – for visitors to view, purchase or commission. Plus, it’s a fantastic opportunity to meet makers and artists, as well as discover some of your favourite local artists,
follow their work and exhibitions on the SEOS website all year round, and enjoy being part of your local artistic community!

Find out what members of your communities are up to. Many of our artists offer taster workshops and tuition in their studios, some even teach online. Start your journey of discovery this June!
