Peterborough Artists' Open Studios

Welcome to the 12th Peterborough Artists' Open Studios

The 2012 PAOS Directory is now available

Each year, the artists and craftspeople of the Peterborough area open their studios, workspaces and homes to the public. They reveal the processes they use to create their work and invite visitors to learn about the ideas behind it. It is this interaction that makes the Open Studios event so special. Entry to each venue is free. All the artists will have original work for sale and many will have cards and prints available. Many will also take commissions. There is, of course, absolutely no obligation to buy anything. Visitors are welcome simply to have a look round, to talk to the artists, and to learn about the techniques and materials involved in their work.

This year we have even more arts events for you to enjoy, with our launch in Peterborough city centre on 19^th and 20^th May. Over that weekend local artists will be showcasing their work in Cathedral Square, with a great exhibition, plus art demonstrations and live music. Come along to see what’s on offer, meet the artists, and get a flavour what will be on display in the Open Studios event on 9-10, 16-17 and 23-24 June.
