Derbyshire Open Arts: Callout for Artists and Makers

Home / News / Artists / Derbyshire Open Arts: Callout for Artists and Makers

Derbyshire Open Arts is an annual event that promotes the work of artists and makers across the county. It is Derbyshire’s largest open studio event and will take place over the Spring Bank holiday weekend, 24th – 26th May 2025.

There are many benefits to artists of being part of Derbyshire Open Arts including:

  • promotion of your work and venue via social media platforms, newspapers and magazines
  • an entry, with an image of your artwork, goes into the thousands of brochures distributed around Derbyshire along with hundreds of posters, signs, banners and window stickers
  • further information about artists and their work plus more images of their artwork go on the Derbyshire Open Arts website for a year
  • the website is also interactive and allows visitors the opportunity to plan their own tailor-made trail for visiting venues.  The brochure is also downloadable from the site

Applications for next year’s Derbyshire Open Arts are open until January 13th 2025.  If you are a local artist but do not have a venue, Derbyshire Open Arts may be able to help you find one.

Information about the event and guidance on how to apply can be found on the website:
