Come and see artists at work - and find that special Christmas gift!

This year the OPEN STUDIOS initiative comes to you in the form of a unique shopping and exhibition event with 30 local artists and craftspeople hosting their own shopping experience. Many will also be demonstrating the skills involved in creating their works and providing an opportunity to have your special gifts custom made and signed by the artist/creator.

With prices for “signed” pieces starting from only a few pounds, there is something to suit every budget for Christmas gifts.

Everyone who attends OPEN STUDIOS @ CHRISTMAS will have the chance to enter the free Christmas draw to win their choice of original pieces of artwork from any of the 175 + contributing members of Open Studios. You can view artists’ works on our website. To enter, simply fill in the coupon on the Christmas card flyers or print off the coupon from the Open Studios website at www.isleofwightarts.com and drop it into the collection point at The Riverside on the 8th and 9th December.

Open Studios is run by local artists and craftspeople for local artists and craftspeople.
