Artists throw open studio doors for region-wide exhibition
Artists across the district will be showing off their work over the first two weekends of June as part of the annual North Yorkshire Open Studios (NYOS) event.
Around 140 professional creatives working in every visual medium will open their studios right across the county, to promote and sell their work direct to the public in what has become one of the major events in the region’s cultural calendar.
One of them is Boroughbridge-based Andrea Mosey, who started painting during lockdown after finding her daughter’s old art materials. Since then, she has won this year’s British Contemporary Art award and routinely sells her paintings for up to £1,000. Her studio is in the grounds of Newby Hall, and visitors can access it free of charge over the open studio weekends. She said:
Curlew by Jo Garlick, who is based near Masham and will be exhibiting over the first two weekends of June.
Harrogate College will also be opening up for its own NYOS exhibition, featuring new work by students on its two-year, part-time MA Creative Practice degree course.
Dr Annabel Smith, programme manager in MA Creative Practice at Harrogate College, said:
The NYOS exhibition’s first weekend will take place on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday 4, and the second will be on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday 11.
The Harrogate College MA students’ work will be available to view on campus each day from 10am to 5pm.
To find out how and where to view work by the 140 other featured artists, visit the North Yorkshire Open Studios website.
