Welcome to Derbyshire Open Arts! Bank Holiday weekend Saturday 28th, Sunday 29th, Monday 30th May Opening hours 10am-5pm unless otherwise stated in individual entries. Derbyshire Open Arts is a not for profit open arts event that takes place in various venues across Derbyshire. The event takes place annually in the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May. Each year nearly 300 Artists and Craftspeople display their work in separate venues and invite the public to view and purchase work as well as take the opportunity to meet the visual arts professionals and find out more about what they do. The inaugural Derbyshire Open Arts event was held in 2006 and marked the beginning of a popular county event. The event runs entirely on Artists’ subscriptions and voluntary manpower from the Committee members. The organisation is formally constituted and exists by and for its members, who are artists and craftspeople and interested parties in the arts countywide across Derbyshire. We are currently applying to become a charitable organisation: by the time this brochure has gone to print we will have probably become one! For more information about the team who keep the event running, see pages 42 and 43 near the back of this brochure. Each year our visitors make around 17,000 visits to our venues at our event and make a day of it over the Spring Bank Holiday. The event is free and family friendly. We cannot send out brochures by post to the public any more due to postage costs, but we do place brochures across and beyond the county in libraries, tourist information centres, many other visitor centres and at local shops and with our artists. A copy of the brochure is placed on our website and further details of artists taking part can also be found on there. 2 3 Derbyshire Open Arts Contacts How to use this brochure We welcome all feedback, both positive and negative, from all sources.
