PRESS RELEASE
OPEN STUDIOS NOTTS 2015 - ‘BRINGING ARTISTS INTO VIEW’
Nottinghamshire’s county-wide Open Studios events are running once more,
from 3 May to 14 June, with over 200 artists & makers taking part. Alongside
the events is an exhibition at Rufford Craft Centre (3 May to 7 June, preview 3
May, 2-4pm), showcasing the work of participating artists, shining a light on
the creative process and pointing to where and when their studios are open.
The public are invited to visit the artists in their studios and other venues, to view
their art & craft and see demonstrations of their work. Whilst many artists will be
inviting you into their studio spaces, others are clustering together to show a variety
of work in single venues and a few established groups have a festival feel. Amidst
the variety of settings, many artists will hold ‘have-a-go’ workshops or demonstrate
working practices – all offer ‘opportunities to see and buy contemporary art and
craft’.
A brochure describing the events is available in libraries and other outlets around the
county. The brochure outlines what is open in different areas, covering:
