This unique opportunity to visit artists in their natural habitat is coming to a close on Sunday 13 July.
There are 78 artists taking part - who create art and craft in all kinds of media all over Rutland, some in the most unusual of places!
It enables the public a ‘behind the scenes' glimpse at the reality of artists’ lives.
Prior to the event studios get spruced up and artists’ work until the small hours in order to have new works ready.
This annual event permits the public into the private studio world to witness the stages in the development of an artwork; providing an experience far removed from seeing a finished item in a gallery, demystifying and engaging you in the creative process.
Come along and experience art in the studio surroundings, feel inspired to purchase a work by an artist you've chatted with, or just have a great day out discovering who is on your doorstep.
Pick up a leaflet in good shops and public places, request or download a copy from www.rutlandopeenstudios.co.uk and www.valeofcatmose.co.uk to find out who is doing what where.
