North East Open Studios

North East Open Studios is an annual event where artists and makers across the North East of Scotland open their workspaces to the public. Visitors can explore studios in homes, workshops, galleries and rural locations, meet artists, see work in progress and discover a wide range of creative disciplines. The page explains how to plan your visit using the online search, digital directory and the yellow book, and reminds visitors that opening dates and accessibility vary by venue. You’re encouraged to follow the yellow signs, explore new areas and enjoy discovering painters, ceramicists, jewellers, textile artists, printmakers, photographers, woodworkers, glass artists and heritage crafts. Two short videos introduce NEOS and how to plan your visit.
