Art – all around town

TOTNES & DARTINGTON OPEN STUDIOS 2024

On the second May Bank Holiday it’s Open Studios time! Artist studios all around Dartington & Totnes will be open over the holiday weekend from Friday May 24th – Monday 27th, from 11am – 5pm daily.

This is the 24th year that TDOS have been holding this prestigious event. Formed originally back in the millennium, by a small group of 20 artists, it has grown year on year and there are now almost double the number contributors of the first event.

2024

This year 29 artists are showing their work, in 20 different venues within the Totnes and Dartington area.

Open Studios provides a platform for local artists to share their work with visitors. Many artists will be exhibiting in their own working studios, and will be keen to show visitors around and discuss how they go about creating their works.

This year The TDOS group have 5 new members: Roberta Ayles, Francesca Bennett, Michael Bennett, Nina Cadzow and Phe Johnson. These works include fused glass, collage, illustration and mosaics made from plastic marine debris.
