This year 129 artists across North Yorkshire will be inviting visitors to take a peek into their studios over two weekends in June.

Discover art in truly inspirational locations, following the trail of studios stretching from the majestic moors and dales to the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline.

Take a look into workspaces of all shapes and sizes, from fisherman’s cottages to Victorian workhouses, at the biggest selected artist open studios in the UK, which offers a tantalising glimpse inside the usually private world of artists.

Expect to see a fantastic mix of established and exciting new creative talent, from potters and painters, to jewellers, textile artists and printmakers and lots more. There are many chances to have a go, take part in an inspiring and fun activity and try something new with friends or family.

North Yorkshire Open Studios takes place from Sat 3 to Sun 4 June and Sat 10 to Sun 11 June 2017. Studios open from 10.30 am to 5.30 pm. Free entry.
