This year there are 72 local artists participating in Marlborough Open Studios, showing an impressive selection of 2D and 3D work in a wide range of media. You can also view work in four associated galleries, and in selected shops and businesses in Marlborough.

I therefore encourage you to visit the exhibitions with an open mind as MOS allows you to cross thresholds and meet creative people. You will get the chance to discuss work directly with artists and to gain insights into the creative process. And of course, there is the option to commission or purchase the latest work from exhibitors.

This web site provides all the information you need about those participating, the exhibitions and other activities taking place during July. Studios and venues are numbered in colour coded zones so that you can devise your own art trails. Wheelchair access is marked with a symbol, but please telephone the artist or studio directly if you have any other questions.

Thankyou for visiting this web site, and I sincerely hope you enjoy all the studio and gallery visits you make.

Mark Somerville, Chair MOS 2008
