Open Up Artists’ Studios 2026
Open Up welcomes artists working in Sheffield and surrounding areas to show with us over two weekends: Bank Holiday weekend 2nd/ 3rd/4th May and 9th/10th May 2026.
Open Up is going bigger and brighter for 2026, with artists taking part from Barnsley to Hope and all points in between. We also have an exciting new brochure planned, keeping all our favourite features but adding new articles to help visitors plan a great day out – so 2026 is a fab year to be involved!
You’ll still be able to see 2025 artists and download the 2025 brochure until we switch over to our new artists.
