Cambridge Open Studios takes place each year over the first four weekends in July. Studios are open on both Saturdays and Sundays between 11am and 6pm. Some members are open for all four weekends, others for only some of them.

The 2012 Open Studios will take place on the weekends of July 7/8, 14/15, 21/22 and 28/29.

Galleries and other arts organisations in the Cambridge area will be invited to feature in a special section at the front of the printed Cambridge Open Studios Guide and on our website, for a modest annual fee. This will allow them to promote their own events, exhibitions and other activities throughout the year and enjoy a close association with COS. This facility will become available in March 2012. If you are interested please email membership.secretary@camopenstudios.co.uk.

You can join COS any time between September and December to become a member for the following year. Your web page will be created immediately - so the sooner you join the better!
