You are warmly invited to our annual Open Studios event. For one weekend only, we open our two stunning studio buildings in Sheffield city centre to anyone who wants to have a neb! This is your opportunity to visit the studios of some of the best contemporary artists and craftspeople in the region; to chat with them, and buy work direct from the place it's made in.

Don't miss out - we only open once year, giving you a peek behind the scenes into the workspaces of over 100 painters, ceramicists, metalsmiths, jewellers, designers, printmakers, photographers, woodworkers, visual artists, and more...

Plus, view our current exhibitions and take part in family-friendly workshops.

Refreshments and snacks will be served by local independent cafés, providing the fuel for your visit to keep up your energy and help you see as many spaces as possible!

And best of all, it’s FREE!

For any enquiries, please contact Tyler Mellins: tyler@artspace.org.uk
