Artists' Open House

The Artists’ Open House, now in its seventh year, is bigger than ever. More than 200 artists in over 150 locations across Dulwich and surrounding areas are opening their homes and studios as part of the Dulwich Festival, giving you the opportunity to see an incredible array of art works in intimate and inspiring settings. Open House will run on both weekends of the Dulwich Festival to give you a chance to see as many of the artists as possible. Look out for the signposts outside each of the venues.

All kinds of artists are represented here – photographers, ceramicists, print makers, designers, painters, jewellers, furniture makers and more – and most of their work is for sale at prices to suit all pockets.

So perhaps you’ll find the perfect watercolour for that space on your bedroom wall, a unique piece of jewellery

or simply a useful and lovely pot. You will certainly be inspired by the amazing creativity at work behind these normally closed doors.

For the first time this year there will be performance art at locations around Dulwich as well as Open House ar

I would like to thank all the artists and hosts who have participated this year, without whose hard work Open House would not be possible. I would also like to thank our sponsors Franklins Farm Shop and Restaurant, Moxon’s, Property in.com, Push Studios, Lordship Lane Carpets and Elrond.
