Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios

What is Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios?

Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios (NNOS) is delivered by Norfolk & Norwich Festival in partnership with Norfolk artists for the benefit of Norfolk artists, offering to help and support them in opening up their studios, meeting their public and selling works of art. The scheme runs annually in May/June for two weeks (including three weekends).

Now about to enter its nineteenth year, NNOS has established itself as one of the largest and most successful open studio schemes in the country. It provides the opportunity for artists across the county to show and sell their work to a curious and enthusiastic audience, primarily in their own studios, thereby maintaining and broadening the audience for the local visual arts. It also creates a focus for local artists and audiences to meet, spark interest and nurture enthusiasm for their work.

During Norfolk & Norwich Open Studios 2012, an estimated 29,200 members of the public roamed the county to visit over 430 participating artists in 240 studios and a total of £364,300 worth of art was sold.
