Celebrating 20 years of Open Studios in Swindon

Swindon Open Studios are celebrating 20 years since their first community art event in September 2004. To kick off these celebrations they are delighted to be working with Swindon Designer Outlet to host a pop-up gallery at their shopping centre from Sat. 10th – Sun. 18th February.

Swindon Open Studios is a community organisation run by volunteers supporting local artists. They hold an exhibition in September each year, during which artists invite members of the public into their studios, homes, and exhibition spaces to see where and how their art is made.

Swindon Open Studios is delighted to be supported by Swindon Designer Outlet Centre to offer their artists another opportunity to share their work with the public. Both events are free for visitors, artists will be at the gallery each day to answer questions about the art on display and artwork will be available to buy.

The pop-up gallery was inspired by Cabinet Member for Culture, Art and Heritage, Councillor Marina Strinkovsky, who put the two organisations in touch. She said:

“I am thrilled that Swindon Designer Outlet is working together with Swindon Open Studios to bring local art and artists out into this fantastic space where it can be enjoyed by the wider community. We have such a breath and depth of talent in this town and I can't wait for more people to see it! “

Swindon Open Studios committee member and participating artist Sheryll Fox said:

“We are very grateful to Swindon Designer Outlet and Marina Strinkovsky for this wonderful opportunity to celebrate the creative artistic talent that Swindon has. It’s a fabulous start to our 20 year anniversary and I am very much looking forward to it. “

The exhibition space is located between M & S and Clarks, in the unit where The Calendar Club currently previously was. There will be six artists featured in February’s pop-up. Five painters and a ceramicist, all with a variety of styles to suit all tastes. These artists are Sheryll Fox, Charlotte

Abraham, Sholeh Jafari, Helen Savin, Andi Theokle and Mary Thorne. More information about them and their work can be found on the Open Studios website: www.swindonopenstudios.org

This year’s artists will open their studios over the weekends of 21st/22nd and 28th/29th September 2024. Any artist wishing to take part should sign up for the newsletter on the homepage of the website for notification of registration which opens in April. You can also follow Swindon Designer Outlet and Swindon Open Studios on Instagram and Facebook for more details.
