Open Studios Notts is about providing opportunities to discover the work and practices of Nottinghamshire-based artists and makers every May and June. For the previous eight years the wider community has been invited to visit and meet them in their working studios or at temporary venues. As this won’t be possible in 2020, Open Studios Notts is inviting you to meet them virtually on their website and social media channels. Artists local to us are:
