York Open Studios 2021

Over two weekends in April we invite you to meet some of York's most talented artists. Chat to them in person about their processes, look around the places where they work, choose a unique piece of art to take home. Venue's range from small studios in the artists' homes to large commercial workshops and often offer access to special places not usually open to the public, and of course what makes York Open Studios different from so many other exhibitions is that at every venue you will find the makers themselves ready to welcome you and show you around. 

York Open Studios is a self-funded non profit organisation. We want to thank all the artists and voulenteers without whose help and hard work this wonderful event wouldn't be possible, and of course we thank you, the visitors, for supporting us and ensuring we can carry on each year. 

PICA studios will be just one venue out of around 250 within York, we are based in the centre of York, usually have around 8-10 artists displaying work and have many other venues close by so we are well worth a visit.
