Open Up Sheffield (Sheffield Open Studios)

Open Up Sheffield supports artists and makers in and around Sheffield to open their studios and workshops to the visiting public.  The event takes place annually during the first two weekends in May.  It is run on a not-for-profit basis by its member artists and supporters through a committee that works throughout the year to organise and market the event. 

We support participating artists with specialist workshops designed to get the most from the Open Up Sheffield experience and develop their own individual practice. We are also developing our exhibition opportunities.  

We encourage artists based in and around Sheffield to participate in the event and join this very supportive community in working together to share ideas, develop practice and attract visitors to their studios.
