Open Studios will be taking place around Cornwall from 25th May to 2nd June 2019, welcoming art collectors and admirers into their creative spaces. Some artists will also be running workshops. Look out for the catalogue which lists over 300 artists taking part all over the county, this also gives guidance on how to book workshops, which days and times artists will be open, directions to their studio, whether there is parking, toilets and disabled access.
If you are limited with time but really want to see lots of varieties of art I recommend a visit to Krowji Studios in Redruth. Krowji is a creative hub of practitioners working in paint, ceramics, textiles, design, Printmaking, illustration, glass, jewellery, photography, sculpture and creative sector agencies. It also has a quirky and awesome café. Krowji is a short walk from Redruth train station and busses stop just outside on the main road. I last took part in the event in 2015 as a tenant of Krowji and it is unfortunate that I cannot take part in Open Studios again this year as I now work from a small studio at my rented home but hopefully I will be able to take part again someday. It’s nice to meet admirers of your work and to be able to sell to them directly and give them a personalised service (and a slice of cake if possible!). I wish all the best to past colleagues, college friends and studio neighbours taking part this year.

I decided it would be a great idea to list all the galleries, museums and theatres in Cornwall for locals or whether you’re planning to holiday here. Then I realised what a vast list that would be! So I have compiled a shorter list of sites that already have all the information (and have done a much better job than I could have including contact details and maps!) Click each title to go to the relevant website
Museums Cornwall museums News, events, educational trips, links to museum websites for ticketing and prices, Cornish history links Trip advisor Visitor ratings and reviews, maps, (clicking the link will take you straight to museums) 101 things to do on a rainy day in Cornwall Similar to cornwall museums without the images but does include contact numbers and postcode and map link plus cinema, theatre, markets, organisations, kid activities…I wish I had found this during the last half term! Day out with the kids Galleries, user friendly looking site with locations shown on a map on the right hand side, nearer the bottom there are links for different types of days out Visit Cornwall History and heritage attractions Cornwall Heritage Trust Places to visit, organisations Galleries Cornwall Arts and Crafts Directory Includes Art galleries, Cornish artists, Graphic designers, Technical illustrators, Art training, Art suppliers, Art exhibitions, crafts, services and suppliers Cornwall Guide List of galleries, literature, jewellers and theatres, search by area and more Trip advisor (again) the link should take you straight to a list Krowji A hub for creative professionals with an onsite cafe , open twice a year for Open Studios to meet the artists, buy their work, attend workshops, café open daily (I did a year residency here and the café décor is worth visiting!) Theatres Rogue Theatre I highly recommend booking to see Rogue Theatre when they have shows, theyre magical and like nothing ive ever experienced before, I love to go along with friends and dress up for the experience, especially for the Halloween show!
