About

North Yorkshire Open Studios is an annual event that invites artists and makers to open their studios, meet visitors, and sell their work directly to the public over the first two weekends in June. An optional winter open studios event also takes place during the first weekend in November.

North Yorkshire Open Studios operates as an annual membership programme. Selected artists join a county-wide creative community, and those who take part each year automatically qualify for the following year.

If you have any questions, please contact the relevant member of the steering group. For general enquiries please email [email protected]
