Open Studios

*Date for your diary*

The Making Space Open Studios 2016 will take place over the weekend of the 14 & 15 May 2016, 11am-4pm both days.

Our annual Open Studios event is an excellent opportunity to come and discover our unique building, meet the team and learn about all that we do here.

Tying in with the May Days Art Trail, Making Space opens its doors each year for a weekend in May, allowing visitors to meet the current tenants as part of a trail across Havant and Hayling Island.The weekend is a unique opportunity to see where and how work gets made, chat openly with the resident artists about their inspirations and techniques, and even buy work directly from the makers themselves.

As part of the weekend, Making Space also hosts various showcases and exhibitions, shining a spotlight on some of the amazing community/outreach work that has taken part over the past year. Previous exhibits have included student project showcases, Heritage Lottery Fund project exhibitions, 7X7, Meet the Makers, and much more.

The 2016 Open Studios event is currently in its planning phase, so be sure to check back regularly for any updates.
