Exhibiting artists' work... where they work

Saturday 2nd October 11am - 5pm

Sunday 3rd October 12pm - 5pm

Wasps Artists' Open Studios Weekend is now established as one of Scotland's largest annual celebrations of visual art and is the only time of year when hundreds of artists' studios across Scotland are open to the public.  Around 200 artists at 11 buildings in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Irvine, Paisley, Selkirk, Newburgh in Fife and Nairn will take part this year and showcase a huge variety of art, from painting, drawing, ceramics, printmaking and photography to digital media, jewellery, glass, installation and sculpture.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the event last year and also to our studio artists who took part. The event was a great success with 3,800 visitors coming along to see what goes on in our buildings across Scotland.

We are have just started to organise the 2010 event and will send regular updates to everyone who has registered onto our mailing list. However, click below to see images and locations which took part from the 2009 event:

Since the event began in 2002, almost 30,000 visitors have had the chance to meet artists in their studios, chat to them about their work and learn the tricks of a number of different creative trades. The event has also generated almost £310,000 in sales and commissions - money which goes directly into artists' pockets.
