Ilkley Arts are delighted to present an Open Studios event on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October 2024 between 10am and 4pm.
Twenty-one Ilkley Arts members will be opening up their studios and workspaces to the public, offering the chance to meet and chat with the artists and find out more about the inspiration for their work and the processes they use.
The event offers an opportunity to connect across the community, find out more about what Ilkley Arts does and, if the mood takes you, buy directly from the artists.
This can be a fascinating way to see an artist’s work and what goes into making it, a peek behind the scenes. All of our artists are happy to answer any questions you might have about their work.

Many of the artists will be doing small demonstrations or showing work in progress alongside finished work to give you a real insight into their work.
Participating artists include painters, printmakers, textile artists, ceramicists, jewellery makers and sculptors based in Ilkley and the surrounding area.
More information and a guide to where to find each artist will be available online at ww.ilkleyarts.org and in person at the Ilkley Arts Studio, 4 Castle Yard, Ilkley LS29 9DT.
All venues are free to enter.
