We are a volunteer run, non profit organisation championing artists and makers across Worcestershire. We run the online Worcestershire Artists and Makers Directory and Worcestershire Open Studios Art Week, a ten day August event where studios and creative spaces open their doors to the public.
We are absolutely over the moon that 2026 will be our biggest Art Week ever, with 179 artists and makers taking part across the county, including many exciting new locations.
Save the date: 22 to 31 August 2026. Art Week is free to visit.
Step inside working studios and creative spaces, meet the artists, see how work is made, and buy directly from the people who create it.
In the meantime, you can browse events, exhibitions and workshops, and sign up for our newsletter to be the first to hear updates, previews and announcements.
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!
