Whats new for 09?
Published on Fri, 16 Oct 2009
What's on?
This year we welcome a new addition to the weekend; the recently established Biscuit Tin Studios will join The Biscuit Factory Studios, Cobalt, Foundry Lane Studios, 36 Lime Street, Mushroom Works, Northern Print and RASKL, meaning that over 200 artists from the Ouseburn Valley will open their studio doors to welcome the public into their working environment.
Many of the studios taking part are hosting workshops, demonstrations, family activities and other events. Check out each venues page to help you decide where to start!
Getting around
In the lead up to this year’s weekend visitors will be able to follow goings-on across the Valley via twitter and facebook and for those who like to know exactly where they’re going we have set up a google My Maps page to help plan out routes ahead.
For those who prefer to take it a little easier, there’s a free ‘hop-on, hop-off’ bus service to get to and from each of the venues (look for the bus stops or ask inside the venues; buses will be running throughout the open-weekend).
What do you think?
This year we want to know what you like best about Ouseburn Open Studios so as to help us improve the event, year on year. Please help us by completing and returning our visitor evaluation cards which can be found at all studios and on the website. To help you help us, all competed forms will be entered into a prize draw where the winner will receive dinner, overnight stay and breakfast for two at Hotel Du Vin.
Thank you
