Swindon Open Studios is an annual community exhibition during which artists invite members of the public into their studios and homes for a chance to see where and how their art is made during two consecutive weekends with a chance to buy original pieces of art.

​

Swindon Open Studios is organised by a committee of volunteers who are passionate about art and keen to publicise each other and the artwork being produced in Swindon.

 

The first Open Studios was in 2004 with a follow up in 2006. From 2008 onwards the open studios event has been held annually until the intervention of COVID in 2020 and 2021. 

​

2022 saw the welcome return of this popular community event, followed by a growing number of participants in 2023.

 

2024 was a special year for Swindon Open Studios as we celebrated our 20th anniversary. 

​

2025 has seen the highest number of participating artists and venues in Swindon Open Studios History, seeing the introduction of a folded guide in addition to our ever popular brochure.
