Groups of up to 8 artists in a single space or building can join Open Up Sheffield as a Studio Group.

As a Studio Group, you will need to place an advert in our colour brochure, inviting people to visit you. The minimum size of advert depends on the number in the Studio Group, as follows:

• 5 – 8 artists: Full A5 page – Cost £465
• 3 – 4 artists: 1/2 A5 page- Cost £235
• 2 artists: 1/4 A5 page- Cost £120

Additionally, we’re keen for as many artists and makers to benefit from the year round website profile that they will have from full membership. Individual artists in a Studio Group can pay an additional £40 for a full profile page in the Artists’ section of this website. The standard application process should be followed and your email confirming payment should give the name your Studio Group to be eligible for the reduced rate. You can find the Artist application form here.

Dates and deadlines:

• Studio Group advert artwork for the brochure – 7th February 2025
• Book your advert before 31st January 2025 for it to appear on our website
• 31st January 2025 – Studio group members’ applications for website profiles at £40

Important notes:

Applications for Studio Group artists’ website profiles at £40 will only be accepted once the studio group advert has been paid for.
