About us

Bucks Open Studios is an annual event held in June every year where artists and makers all over the County open their studios or hold exhibitions and events showcasing and demonstrating their work. It is a wonderful opportunity to experience first-hand the creativity going on around the County. Bucks Open Studios is run by the Visual Images Group, an alliance of over 600 artists and makers living and working in Buckinghamshire.

Now in its 26th year, Buckinghamshire was one of the first counties to hold an Open Studios event. 2011 was our largest event yet, with 274 directory entries, involving over 480 artists and makers. We expect to exceed last year's record of just over 26,000 visits made to studios & exhibitions during the fortnight.

Bucks Open Studios 2012 will take place from 9 - 24 June 2012. Registration for 2012 is now closed.
