It's happening now!

Posted on May 26th 2017

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our artists for taking part in the biggest art event in Derbyshire.

To all our visitors, we hope you really enjoy this sunny weekend of colour across our county.
Our artists are now making final preparations to welcome you to their studios and workshops, to share their inspiration and stories.
Some venues are located off the main roads, so follow the written directions, double checking the postcodes in google maps.
Then look out for the yellow, blue and green entrance balloons.

Valentine Commission

Posted on January 27th 2017

We are delighted to have awarded our first ever Derbyshire Open Arts commission.  The commission is for a Derbyshire ‘Valentine token’ to be mailed to our press contacts.  We are hoping that this will serve to announce the launch of our 2017 event and raise awareness among press and media contacts.  The commissions were awarded to Val Copestake (padded, hanging hearts) Frances Daunt (felted heart pictures) and Sheila Conchie (heart shaped fabric brooches).  Congratulations to those three artists.
