Things To Do

Derbyshire Open Arts

24 May 2025 - 26 May 2025

An exciting open studios event with 245 artists exhibiting at 68 venues throughout Derbyshire.

Derbyshire Open Arts promotes an annual art event at the end of May. Individuals and groups organise their own studios and venues but join together under this umbrella organisation. Artists and crafts people open their studios to the public or exhibit with others in a combined venue such as a village hall or art gallery. It gives visitors an opportunity to see the breadth of art that is created in Derbyshire, to meet the creators, and to purchase or commission works direct from the maker.
