About Us

Worcestershire Open Studios is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit membership organisation supporting and championing artists and makers across the county.

Our aim is simple: to showcase Worcestershire’s creative talent, give artists and makers a platform to share their work during our annual August Art Week, and inspire more people to discover and engage with the visual arts.

Each August, we organise Worcestershire Open Studios Art Week, the county’s largest free art event. Artists and makers open their studios, homes and creative spaces, giving visitors the chance to meet them, discover how they work and buy original art directly from its creator.

Throughout the rest of the year, our Worcestershire Artists & Makers Directory provides a permanent showcase for our members, alongside listings for their exhibitions, events, workshops and courses.

Founded in 2015, Worcestershire Open Studios is now run by a small team of volunteer artists, with support from our members, sponsors and partners.

Explore our artists and makers, discover what’s happening across the county, and experience the wealth of creativity Worcestershire has to offer.

Our next Worcestershire Open Studios Art Week will take place 21-30 August 2027 and if you are interested in take part, registration will be from mid February to mid March – exact dates to be confirmed so sign up to our newsletter to hear more.
