SUMMARY:Northants and Rutland Open Studios September Festival
DESCRIPTION:This September\, we invite you to step beyond the familiar and explore a world of creativity waiting to be discovered across Northamptonshire and Rutland. Northants & Rutland Open Studios is more than an art festival – it is an opportunity to explore hidden studios\, beautiful villages\, bustling towns\, country gardens\, galleries\, and creative spaces\, while meeting the artists who make our region such a vibrant place to visit. \nFrom painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to textiles\, printmaking\, jewellery\, photography\, and glass\, every venue offers something different. Some artists will be opening their working studios\, others will be exhibiting together in shared spaces and galleries\, creating exciting opportunities to experience a wide variety of work in one visit. \nStart your journey at our free Central Exhibition at Lamport Hall\, running from 5th September – 3rd October\, Wednesday to Sunday\, 10am-4pm. Bringing together work from artists across both counties\, it is the perfect place to discover new artists\, plan your route\, and be inspired to explore further afield. Whether you visit one venue or twenty\, we hope this year’s festival encourages you to slow down\, explore more\, support local creativity\, and enjoy the rich artistic talent on your doorstep. We look forward to welcoming you this September! \nFor a full list of all the events\, workshops and open studios coming to you this September\, be sure to pick up a NROS brochure.
