Suffolk Open Studios Showcase Exhibition
17th May to 26th May 11am – 5pm
Blackthorpe Barn Rougham near of Bury St Edmunds
Click here for location map>>>
The Showcase Exhibition is held in a spectacular mediaeval barn, set in
the heart of the Suffolk countryside. It is the perfect opportunity to
see the stunning collection of members work all under one roof. All artists
opening their studios take part, therefore it also gives you the chance
to view their work and decide which studios you would like to visit the
following month.
The exhibition is divided into two: -
The large barn holds the Main Exhibition. Here the artwork is for sale,
but not to be collected until the end of the exhibition.
The smaller long barn houses the Wrap & Go area, where artwork is
for sale but can be taken at the time of purchase.
Although the artwork is for sale there is no pressure to buy.
We are hoping to have credit & debit card payment facility, otherwise
cash or checks only.
New for 2008 membership is the SOS ART
PRIZE sponsored by
Awarded to the artist with outstanding work, selected from that displayed
at the ‘S.O.S Showcase Exhibition’
So come along to see a wealth of artistic expression, style, approach and
techniques, in an incredible range of materials and disciplines. Find out
who won the art prize, decide who you would like to visit, and to enjoy
the surroundings with a cup of tea/coffee and a piece of cake.
