Welcome to our OPEN Studios 2026 website! This will be live all year round and enable you to contact artists, arrange visits throughout the year .
Our main event starts Saturday 9th May – Monday 25th May 2026 and includes our Flagship INSIGHT exhibition at The BASE, Greenham when over 100 artists will have a sample of their work displayed. Why not explore our website to help you choose the artist studios you wish to visit. We have a map included on the website and a much larger version of the map will be on display at The BASE which shows where each artist is located. Our printed Guide will be available from March 2026 in many local outlets and will also show all of our participating artists and the map of all the venues with opening dates and times. (Please note there is an omission on the printed map in the 2026 brochures. Venue 54 is Rachel Cheesman and Susie Horsley Cooper’s Open Studios at Steventon Village Hall, RG25 3BD. See page 45 of the brochure for full details of this venue or view the map on this website.)
We work to make visiting any studio a comfortable experience, to encourage and promote accessibility to art and artists. The artistic community of our region is thriving thanks to your support!
OPEN Studios WBNH is a not for profit organisation, run by volunteers who are mainly artists. We are grateful for the time given by all our committee members and also the many OS Helpers who make this scheme possible.
We are indebted to The Greenham Trust for their continued financial support along with The Friends of Newbury Spring Festival who have also contributed to the production of the OS Guide.
John Brazendale, Chairman OSWBNH
