This year’s North Yorkshire Open Studios event promises to be the best yet, with artists from across the area opening their doors to visitors over two weekends.

Some 40 artists plus galleries and other venues are included in the moors and coast section of the event. They include well known names such as David Baumforth, Wendy Tate, Shirley Sheppard, Kane Cunningham, John Egerton and Clothylde Vergnes, plus many more.

Other events include printmaking workshops in Scarborough, talks and seminars. For those venturing further afield, the event also has a Dales section.

The studios are open on the weekend of 20 and 21 June, and the bank holiday 26 to 28 June. Details from the website at ww.art-connnections.org.uk
