Artists across the Isle of Wight are being invited to take part in this year's annual Open Studios event.
The event takes place over 17 days from this Friday (August 23) until Sunday September 8.
Steeped in a rich history of fostering community and creativity, the event opens doors — quite literally — to the vibrant studios of local artists, inviting both residents and visitors to embark on a journey of artistic discovery; right across all five areas of the Island’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
During the annual Open Studios event which features over 120 artists and craftspeople, you can wander through studios, local venues, pop-up exhibitions and galleries, where you'll encounter a rich tapestry of artistic expression.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, textiles, jewellery, ceramics, and more, and meet the makers behind the art.
Five area locations have been mapped out, highlighting Isle of Wight Open Studios 2024 venues.
Artists have selected what dates/times they will open their studios during the event, but generally opening times will be 11am-5pm and they're all completely free to visit.
Head along to the Isle of Wight Open Studios website to find out more about each artist and look at a snapshot of their work.
