Devon Open Studios takes place this month
Artists all over Devon will be throwing open their doors and inviting people to look behind the scenes of an artist’s studio this September.
More than 300 artists are taking part in this year’s Devon Open Studios, with a range of free exhibitions, workshops and opportunities to see artists at work.
The art and craft on display will include drawing, painting, sculpture, tapestry, ceramics, jewellery and glasswork. Artists range from new talent to experienced professionals, all keen to share their inspiration and creativity with visitors.
A spokesperson for Devon Open Studios said: ‘More artists than ever are taking part in this year’s event, which offers a fantastic opportunity to meet artists working in their studios in some of Devon’s beautiful locations. During Open Studios, visitors will be able to see artists’ work, watch demonstrations and take part in activities. Of course, there’s also the opportunity to buy, and it’s much more satisfying to purchase a piece of art when you’ve met the artist, seen them working and heard about their inspiration.’
Devon Open Studios guides are available from community venues, libraries and tourist information offices. You can also find more information online at https://bit.ly/3ndCFgx
