2026 APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

Are you an artist who lives or has a studio within 10 miles of York? If so, you’re invited to apply for York Open Studios 2026 which will take place over two weekends next April (18 & 19 and 25 & 26).

It doesn’t cost anything to apply; once selected, artists pay a fee and then commission on some of their sales. Our applications are administered through CuratorSpace so you will need to set up an account with them if you don’t already have one, but again this is free and it only takes a minute. Click on the links below for more information.

The deadline for applications is midnight on Sunday 27 July
