Covid-19 Statement

In order to keep our artists and visitors safe during this difficult time, sadly we have made the difficult decision to cancel York Open Studios 2020.

Even though we are temporarily closing our doors, don't forget that our artists are artists all year round. Sign up to their newsletters, follow them on social and see their work in their upcoming exhibitions. You can see all their brilliant work here on our website and even though you might be disappointed by not being able to visit you can still buy their work by contacting them directly.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us this year, especially our artists who have worked so hard.

We'll see you all again in 2021!
