Open Studios
Every year in November, Yorkshire Artspace's studio holders throw open their doors to the public for our annual Open Studios weekend. Each year the event proves more popular with nearly 900 visitors to Persistence Works and Porter Brook Studios in November 2009. Some choice comments from the visitor feedback forms about what they liked best about their visit:
"Loved meeting the artists and seeing all the beautiful creative work that is taking place''
"… the openness of the people who work here and are happy to share their thinking"
"the variety and the atmosphere’’
"the fact that you can both buy and look"
"the studios and the resources that are available for artists’’
And some feedback from one of the artists taking part:
"Visitors were interested and asked lots of questions. I got lots of very positive comments about the work, which for me, as an artist just starting out on the beginning of a professional career, was very affirming. I went home exhausted but very happy.’’
