Callout to artists and makers

Calling all artists and makers. Applications are now open to apply for an exciting Summer Open Studios event here at Long Eaton Art Room on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June 2026.

With Derbyshire Open Arts sadly not happening this year, we have decided to have our own summer open studios event to fill the void in the creative calendar. We will open our artists’ studio spaces here and invite artists and makers to join us over in the community spaces in our former lace factory building.

Applications are open now. The closing date is 28th February 2026 so get those Applications completed.

Please note this is a curated show. Strictly handmade items only, no imports or MLMs. Must be your own work.
