South East Open Studios is a large artist-led organisation that brings in visitors from all over the South East and not just locally.

In addition to this, the guide acts as an artists directory which attracts not only art buyers but also galleries and publishers.

Annually, for two weeks in June (June 5-21, 2009), a growing number of artists who live and work in Kent and East Sussex extend an open invitation to visitors to come in and watch them work, ask questions and generally talk about the curious and sometimes mysterious processes of making art.

The deadline for applications is January 31, 2009.

Group entries are also available at a reduced fee (groups of six or more, postal entry only). Please see our website for more details.

The website www.seos-art.org supports the guide with all guide entries as well as networking opportunities for artist members. It also lists any Autumn open studios. For further details please contact our co-ordinators officer, Felicity Flutter on 01580 240 580
