Herts Open Studios Preview Exhibition

This year marks 25 years since the popular Herts Open Studios arts festival began. Every year since 1990, around 200 glittering artists and craftspeople living or working in Hertfordshire have opened their studio doors to shine in this popular county-wide event. To mark the occasion, The New Maynard Gallery in Welwyn Garden City will be showcasing painting, sculpture, printmaking, glass, photography, ceramics, textiles and jewellery by artists participating in Herts Open Studios.

The exhibition opens on 10th July and runs until 5th September, open from 9am until 9pm each day. It promises to give a real flavour of the artists we have here in Hertfordshire and the type of quality we can expect to see during Herts Open Studios this September.
