Bridport Open Studios 2008

Welcome to Bridport Open Studios 2008, our tenth annual event highlighting the exciting and vibrant art scene here in our little corner of Dorset. We hope you will enjoy this opportunity to meet the artists and see the settings in which they produce their works, from the thriving hub of studios in the town to the beautiful countryside surroundings of the village venues. You will have the opportunity to see an oil painting demonstration, watch performance art and have a go at weaving. The quality and diversity of work being produced locally is impressive, so why not visit as many venues as possible.

We would like to thank all the participating artists, and especially welcome all those involved for the first time. Well done to one of these, Jemma Thompson, and to Kit Glaisyer, for their lovely front cover design.

Many thanks go to all those involved behind the scenes for making this event possible. Thanks to our main sponsors the Electric Palace and Marshwood Vale Magazine, as well as to all our other supporters, to Fergus Byrne for his most valued contribution, and to the artists who have volunteered their time to help in other ways.

To help you find you way around, the map page on this website has a downloadable document for the maps and also an alphabetical list of artists and their venue numbers, you can print these out, make your notes on them and take them with you on your travels.

We hope you all, artists and visitors, will have a happy and successful year.

Jaki Rabbetts.
