What is Open Studios 2010?

Hidden Art Open Studios is now in its 17th year, and is aimed at helping designer-makers make sales direct to the public in the lead up to Christmas.

There have been some changes to the format of Open Studios in 2010. In response to event feedback, we are shifting our promotional format online, making it widely available to a larger audience.

Participants can create their very own tailored event listing under their designer directory pages - with full contact details, maps, demonstrations, workshops, discounts / offers or private view details and a range of images of your work.

For 2010 the Open Studios event will be available only for studios in London. If you are a member outside London, contact kathryn@hiddenart.co.uk and we will post your needs out to other members, who may be willing to share their studio with you for a discount on their own cost.

List your East London events

NEW! List yourself on Buzzstops!

Hidden Art are encouraging all participants to list their event on East London Buzzstops, a new mobile application which allows visitors to the area to see when events are taking place in the local area.
