The dates of the Open Studios are set! Happy with our new consecutive long-weekend format, our 2023 edition takes place from 2 – 4 and 8 – 11 June.
During Open Studios up to 50 artists in residence will share their artistic practice and present what has emerged from a period of experimenting, researching and producing new work. For a fortnight, all corridors and spaces in the building will be buzzing with creativity, with in addition to the multi-faceted studio presentations, an extensive programme of performances, films and talks. Visitors will have the chance to engage with the different practices and ideas the artists have developed that push boundaries of what contemporary art can be and do.
