We are a volunteer-run, non-profit organisation championing artists and makers across Worcestershire. We host the online Worcestershire Artists & Makers Directory and Worcestershire Open Studios Art Week – a 10-day August event where studios and creative spaces open their doors, inviting visitors to meet artists & makers, discover how and why art is made, be inspired and buy art direct from the people who created it.
Annual membership registration and Art Week 2026 submissions are now open, with entries closing on 25 March. Art Week 2026 will take place from 22–31 August, and artists and makers are invited to join, renew their membership or register to take part.

Worcestershire Artists and Makers Directory
Worcestershire Open Studios is proud to celebrate and support artists and makers from across our beautiful county during August Art Week but also year round on the website and via other opportunities. Our talented members cover a huge artistic spectrum: discover painters, ceramicists, photographers, jewellers, woodworkers, glass and print makers and sculptors as well as calligraphers, textile artists and more.
Not all members are able to participate in Art Week so please do browse our comprehensive Artist and Maker Directory and enjoy the breadth of talent you’ll find across Worcestershire’s creative community. You can also keep up -to-date about what events and exhibitions they are taking part in here.
Be Inspired, Learn New Creative Skills
Throughout the year, our members offer a variety of courses and workshops across Worcestershire, spanning a wide range of creative disciplines – from watercolour and abstract mark-making to stained glass, ceramics, life drawing, printmaking, jewellery, sculpture, and more. Whether you’re interested in taster courses, weekly classes, or art retreats, you’ll find something to ignite your creative spark.
All classes are organised by the artists themselves, so please contact them directly for any enquiries.

Help secure the future of Worcestershire Open Studios, make a donation
Worcestershire Open Studios is a not for profit organisation, entirely run by volunteers, which benefits the Worcestershire and wider community by inspiring them to get creative. It supports and encourages local artists and makers to develop their practice and provides a popular platform for their work and events. The event and website are expensive to run and we are very grateful to our sponsors and members for their contributions. If you’ve enjoyed visiting any of our artists & makers, then please consider making a donation.
Worcestershire Open Studios would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors and partners, thank you!
