Two long weekends of Open Studios
:
24-26 MAY and 30 MAY-1 JUNE : 11am to 5pm daily
Welcome to Cornwall Open Studios
Cornwall has a rich artistic heritage, and our creative County is home to Tate St. Ives, many other arts and culture venues, and a wealth of galleries.
So, it’s hardly surprising that for over twenty years artists and craftspeople have been opening their studios and homes free of charge to visitors from all over Cornwall, and much further afield.
As a visitor, you'll be able to experience our artists' studios, see their work, and talk to the creators themselves. Naturally, their work will be for sale, but there's no obligation to buy.

Disclaimer
Cornwall Open Studios (COS) exists to support a vibrant community of artists and makers and to help connect them with visitors in a spirit of mutual benefit, enjoyment, and discovery.
While COS promotes its members and their studios, each artist or maker is independently responsible for their own studio environment, including ensuring appropriate insurance cover.
COS cannot accept any legal or other liability for what takes place at individual venues.
Visitors attend studios at their own risk and are encouraged to satisfy themselves that the arrangements meet their expectations. This helps everyone take part in the event with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.
For reference, individual responsibility for visitor safety is set out under UK premises law, particularly the Occupiers’ Liability Acts of 1957 and 1984.
