It is with great pleasure that the Open Studios WBNH Committee welcome you to their INSIGHT 2023 Exhibition at the prestigious gallery at The Base, Greenham.

This is the home of our scheme and we thank the team at The Base and the Corn Exchange for all their support and help throughout the year. This exhibition space offers our artists a superb opportunity to showcase their work and where traditionally the public begin their open studios experience. This is our flagship exhibition and will again house the work of over one hundred artists.

Our 2023 curators  Diana Pattenden, Arty Pumpkin and Claire Terry are all regular artists with our scheme. We call our exhibition INSIGHT because it provides our visitors with a taster to help them choose the artists they want to visit. You can meet painters, textile artists, ceramicists, jewellers, sculptors printmakers, and artists who work in wood, stone and glass.

Our stewards and gallery staff are there to help you engage with the display, answer your questions and help should you wish to make a purchase. You can find information about the artists' studios you wish to visit in this website, including contact details and opening times and which studios are near each other.

In 2023, our young visitors can also enter our INSIGHT Competition:  We are inviting all under 18 visitors to use the worksheet provided at the exhibition (or downloadable below) to enter and submit response-artwork in our Competition Post Box at the gallery as well as post an image on our Instagram page #oswbnh2023. #insight2023 atthebase  The winner will get a pack of postcards of their artwork printed as a prize, plus publicity in the local news.
