About Membership
All practising artists and makers, with a strong commitment to their art form / forms, based in Worcestershire or in close proximity to the county border are welcome to apply for membership of Worcestershire Open Studios. Simply click on the 'REGISTER' button to get started.
If you are not a practising artist but would love to be kept informed about our members and updates with Worcestershire Open Studios then please join our general mailing list here for which there is no fee.
Membership, which must be renewed annually, is essential if you wish to be a part of our Open Studios event. You can however become a member and benefit from the perks it brings without necessarily participating in the Worcestershire Open Studios main event for which there is an additional cost. Due to previous feedback, the 2025 event will offer a group exhibitors option but all members of that group must be registered members.
Because there will be no Open Studios event until August 2025 if you join now your membership will last until the 30th September 2025. From then onwards membership will need to be renewed annually and will run from 1st October to 30th September.
