CALL OUT FOR DERBYSHIRE OPEN ARTS

Applications are now open for the event, which takes place over the late Spring Bank Holiday weekend – Saturday 29th to Monday 31st May 2027. The closing date for applications is Wednesday 13th January.

We welcome applications from artists and makers across Derbyshire and beyond, but your venue must be within Derbyshire. It could be your home or studio, or a multi-artist venue in a village or church hall, pub, community centre or anywhere that can be accessed by visitors. If you don’t have a venue lined up, watch out for our ‘Looking for a Venue?’ newsletters that will be sent regularly right up to the closing date.

If you would like to organise a new venue for multiple artists, you can register your interest and get our advice through the New Venues Form on the website.

Venues that have taken part previously are also very welcome to return, and there is more information for venue organisers on the website.

Our website is now up and running for 2027. If you want to apply just visit www.derbyshireopenarts.co.uk and click on:
