Isle of Wight Open Studios Showcase Exhibition

About

With the date set for artists to open the doors to their studios this August, Isle of Wight Open Studios are hosting a Showcase Exhibition of artists work, in collaboration with Quay Arts in Newport, to highlight the rich diversity of art and craft practices represented across the Island.

The exhibition, curated and installed by Quay Arts in the Café and Clayden Gallery, opens with a launch event from 6pm – 8pm on Friday 12th July which will introduce the new IW Open Studios Community Interest Company together with their team of volunteers from all five areas of the Island who are working together to create a coordinated event, celebrating Island artists. The exhibition will then be open daily 9am – 5pm until Sunday 4th August.

This free exhibition is being held to raise public awareness of IW Open Studios, giving visitors a glimpse of the wonderfully diverse range of work of a selection of the 120+ artists participating this year. The exhibition provides a great opportunity for visitors to start to see what will be showcased during this Island-wide event – which is set to be the year's most exciting and widespread celebration of art on the Island. Pieces on display will also be available to buy.
