South East Open Studios

Art On Your Doorstep – South East Open Studio Event 

From the 7th to the 23rd June artists in East Sussex and Kent open their studios to the public.  The South East Open Studios (SEOS) printed guide and art trail maps, (available from shops and libraries) signpost visitors to free art exhibitions and events throughout the region, celebrating a wealth of artistic talent. Visitors are welcome to pop in to meet the artists and buy their work.

Now in its 22nd year, SEOS represents a group of over 200 artists, including ceramicists, potters, printmakers, glass fusers, jewellers and furniture makers. For the curious this is an opportunity to meet the artist at work and see behind the scenes to appreciate the skill of creating beautiful, hand-made arts and crafts.

Many artists exhibit overseas and some are established names in the art world. During June their studios become galleries to showcase their work. Some provide refreshments, demonstrations and work is available to purchase. Some artists sell gift vouchers for workshops if you fancy having a go yourself or giving the gift of art tuition.

Visiting SEOS artists during June is a delightful day out for art enthusiasts of all ages.
