South East Open Studios (SEOS) is one of the most established annual open artist studio events in the UK and has been running since 1996; it takes place during the month of June, showcasing creative talent, and strengthening visual arts in our corner 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, advertise and display your work, shows and exhibitions on the SEOS website all year round, and enjoy being part of your local artistic community!

Join us to showcase your creative talent to art-lovers across parts of Kent and Sussex. This year we are introducing an early bird discount for people signing up between 9 – 31 December, as well as a group discount fee for groups of 6+ artists exhibiting their work in one venue.
