OPEN MY STUDIO NETWORK

Open my studio is a suggested framework for an autonomous network of artists in the Stroud district. It has been created by artists, for the benefit of artists. We hope to facilitate a culture of peer to peer support, discussion and collaboration.

This is not open studios as you know it. You are not here to provide a public service. This is for YOU and we want you to run with it.

So what does that look like?

The model builds upon social media’s ability to connect strangers through common ideas or goals and transposes it to a physical location. It’s pretty simple. You decide you would like to open your studio for whatever reason- maybe you just had a big tidy and want to show the whole town. Maybe you’re stuck and you need a crit, you want some new art friends, you have a performance you want to test out on a small and forgiving crowd. Whatever it may be, just go to the booking form and choose an available slot, and book yourself in! There are a few simple questions and we need some images too of course! We will share your event on instagram and via the monthly newsletter. We strongly advise that you do your own promotion too and we will support you with all the likes and shares.
