Welcome to Derbyshire Open Arts: A visual arts and crafts event across the county. This free event invites you to visit artists and craftspeople in their showspaces and workplaces over Spring Bank holiday weekend. Our next event will take place on Spring Bank holiday weekend from 23rd to 25th May 2009.

The brochure for Derbyshire Open Arts 2009 is available and can be downloaded from this page or picked up from your local library, tourist information or participating artist. We can also send you a brochure by post if you fill in your details on the mailing list page.

This year the event has even more venues and over 130 artists taking part with a high standard of art to occupy all tastes over the three days of the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend.
