Site Festival Open Studios

Since 1997 it’s been really important that SVA was not just about the building but about the community of artists who lived out in the five valleys, working away in their spare rooms, sheds and kitchen worktops as well as the more formal studio spaces.

Site Festival Open Studios are OPEN, not selected - welcoming all artists of all backgrounds, ages, disciplines and experience.

Open Studios 2024 : 8th-9th June and 15th-16th June


2024 Artist Bursaries Announced

Openness

Since 1997 it’s been really important that SVA was not just about the building but about the community of artists who lived out in the five valleys, working away in their spare rooms, sheds and kitchen worktops as well as the more formal studio spaces.

The word OPEN not only reflects the open studio door welcoming curious visitors to discover the wonderful world of the artists studio but also it reflects SVA’s OPENNESS to all artists of all backgrounds, ages, disciplines and experience.

Open Studios is not selected and we welcome conversations with artists who may be held back in their practice.
