Welcome to all the artists who have registered to be part of Swindon Open Studios 2026! We are thrilled to have so many wonderful creative people on board this year and we can't wait to start sharing more about them. Here is a sneak preview of a few of this year's participants - you can find more about each of these, and all of the artists involved on our website. #swindonopenstudios2026 #swindonvisualarts #visualartswindon
Looking back at old images this week and seeing how far I’ve come.
Apart from quickly learning cropping photos doesn’t work on here, I know the black boarders!! 🫣🫣🫣
Finding and making with finer wire to create more depth and detail was a game changer! 🙏🏻
I finally felt like my work was getting to where I wanted it to be.
A place that I love and continue to challenge myself and this process.

Now that our 2026 artists are registered, the Swindon Open Studios team are all busily working behind the scenes to get everything ready to go. In the meantime, make the most of this time by letting us know what you are doing. Add us as a collaborator so that we can help share your art and activities with our community.
Four paintings at the early stage. With oils it helps to work on more than one so things can dry out a bit. Hope they will be finished for @swindonopenstudios in September. They are only 15 x 15cm so I might try starting something a little bigger#oilpainting#riverkey#swindonopenstudios#landscapes

Still thinking of joining Swindon Open Studios 2026? Are you unsure about opening your home but want to be part of the event? Take a look at the venues who are offering their spaces to artists this year 👀
Looking around studios is wonderful - to see where the creative magic happens. But Swindon Opem Studios is an inclusive community event and we understand not everyone is able to or feels comfortable opening their homes. This year we have a wonderful range of venues signed up to give artists a space to share their work.
Each of our venues has something unique to offer, from the quirky loveliness of @emporiumofloveliness to the growing cultural atmosphere at @shpreservation or why not have the personal touch with a private viewing on offer at @thepenaltyspotsjfc ? Look at our website for full details of what each venue has on offer and how to get in touch.
Remember to register before 3rd April if you want to be part of Swindon Open Studios 2026.
