Somerset Open Studios

Somerset Open Studios 2021

With over 200 venues taking part this year, there is something for everyone across the county. 

Visitors have the opportunity to go behind the scenes and meet the artist, find out what inspires them and experience the working process, engaging with creativity at the source. Studios occur in a variety of unique situations and the event is the perfect opportunity to discover hidden locations and workspaces, in person and also online.

For 2021, visitors will be able to experience and explore artists’ workspaces in new and different ways. A fold-out venue map and listings, available in cultural venues, will help visitors plan their journeys and navigate the 16 days of Open Studios. Also new for this year is an Open Studios App, providing full venue details including art forms, accessibility information and opening times.

The App works offline and links to Google Maps to take you straight to the studio door! A map and venue listings, along with artist images and editorial will also be available in the September/October edition of Evolver magazine, the arts and culture guide distributed across the Wessex region.

Both the printed maps and Evolver magazine are available to pick up at our South Somerset Visitor Information Centre at Cartgate Picnic Site, just off the A303, so a perfect spot to grab one en-route.
