Devon Open Studios

Devon Open Studios is an exceptional chance for the public to enjoy art at its origin. A cornucopia of art will be on offer across Devon when resident artists and artisans open their studios to sell their individual artworks to the public this September.  This FREE event features work by over 200 artists in venues  across the county of Devon.

Devon is known for its exceptionally lovely landscape as well as its vibrant artistic community, one of the largest of any county in Britain. For 16 days in September many of those artists will be opening their studios to the public.

Devon’s varied natural beauty, fine pubs, cafes, farm shops and seaside attractions make Devon Open Studios’ free full colour event guide a handbook for a blissful day out venturing down hidden lanes to bucolic villages, across moorland to stop in stannary towns or over cliffs to find artists by the sea.

You are assured of a warm welcome from members of Devon’s vibrant artist community as they throw open the doors to their unique studios, spaces which are magical and abundant with creativity. You will encounter painters and printmakers, ceramists and weavers, sculptors, jewellers, photographers and more - all diverse in subject, materials and approach but all choosing to live and practise in the stunning county of Devon.
