OSNotts 2026 Events Diary

The public can meet artists and view their work for free in the artist’s creative environment, giving them an insight into artists’ lives and the creative process.

We want to celebrate creativity in the county and better connect artists and makers to the community. Public visits, purchases, praise and commissions all give artists reasons to keep creating.

EXHIBITIONS – The 2026 Open Studios Notts: ‘Bringing Artists into View’ Exhibitions will run from 25 April to 7 June 2026, hosted by Inspire: Culture, Learning and Libraries – showing photos of artists and makers by Tom Platinum Morley, along with selected work, in 3 county Libraries – at Worksop, HucknallArnold.


OSNOTTS 2026 BROCHURE:  From mid April, you will be able to pick up a printed brochure at libraries and other venues around the county & city, or when visiting one of the events.
