Hebden Bridge Open Studios is a voluntary non-profit making event organised by a small group of artists for the benefit of the participating artists in the Upper Calder Valley. This annual event grows in popularity each year. It has become an established fixture on both the cultural and tourist calendars in the North drawing a wide and varied audience.

Hebden Bridge Open Studios 2019 will be on July 5th, 6th and 7th, 11am to 5pm.

The Open Studios weekend is a great opportunity to visit local artists and craftspeople in Hebden Bridge, Todmorden, Heptonstall and Mytholmroyd. This year over 90 artists will be opening their studios and homes. Browse at your leisure, purchase original work direct from established and new talent from this flourishing creative community. Look out for our magenta signs at each of the venues. Admission is free!

Carolyn Curtis Magri is taking in part in Hebden Bridge Open Studios 5,6 and 7 July.

The work continues with the theme of forensic interventions into my own work. I am exhibiting work in two venues. Artsmill in Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall Museum.

In my studio at Artsmill on 2^nd floor, I am exhibiting a new huge landscape drawing (attachments 2.21MB and 1.21MB) a personal interpretation of air photography and a selection of small sculptures.

In Heptonstall Museum, I am exhibiting digital photographs relating to the tributes left on Sylvia Plath’s grave and some small landscape drawings.

Welcome to Hebden Bridge Open Gardens 2019. This year we have a fantastic selection of gardens for you to visit which make the most of our unique landscape and show our local creativity. Most gardens can be found within (uphill) walking distance of the town centre.

You will also find more gardens a little further afield which require transport or strong legs, but which are definitely worth a visit to appreciate the hillside views over the town.

Most gardens are open 11am – 5pm on both days but may close earlier if the weather is poor.

Many of the gardeners are offering refreshments. The gardens are signed and should be easily located. For more information – hebdenbridgeartsfestival.co.uk
