Bucks Open Studios is the largest visual arts event in the county. In the last two weeks of June every year over 400 artists and makers, in over 150 different venues across Buckinghamshire, open their studios and run exhibitions and events for the public to visit.

It's a great opportunity to go behind the scenes, talk to artists first-hand, and see work in progress. Some venues also offer demonstrations or workshops. Others feature group exhibitions, showcasing a wide range of arts and crafts.

Bucks Open Studios 2012 will take place from 9 - 24 June 2012.
