Coming to you soon in the luxury of your own living room (drum roll please) is the fantastic Hebden Bridge Open Studios Online, October 10/11. We invite you to participate and I have forwarded all the details below, including a group show, which you will be able to go to if you need your gallery fix (which is very understandable).

We'll be broadcasting videos and live streaming via our YouTube channel.

Find out all about the 92 artists involved on our website, where there will be lots of art to see and buy.

Follow the hashtag #hbopenstudios2020 on Instagram and Facebook to see fantastic artwork and find out all about the creative life of artists in and around Hebden Bridge.

To get you in the mood you can visit an actual exhibition of 27 Open Studios artists at Hebden Bridge Town Hall now. It's open daily this week from 8.30 - 4, ending noon on Saturday.

Then to warm you up for the online weekend Hebden Bridge artist Kate Lycett is hosting a conversation with gallery owners Alison and Paul Bartram (Heart Gallery and The Yorkshire Gallery) and Terry Brett (Pyramid Gallery, York).

Tune in to our Youtube channel at 7.30pm next Thursday, October 8, for some fascinating insights into the art scene of Northern England.

We might not be able to invite you into all the studios and workshops this year so we'll bring Hebden Bridge Open Studios to you. Full programme details are coming soon.
