WELCOME TO MOS 2010
Welcome to MOS 2010. This year we celebrate our 15th year with 58 participating local Artists. Do take the time to visit not only returning Artists with their new work but also our 13 newcomers to the scheme. I am especially encouraged by the fact that we attract not only well established commercial Artists but also those new to the profession and I wish them every success with their exhibitions. As you will see from the brochure, work ranges from those who take a traditional creative approach to more contemporary and experimental practitioners.
As always, Marlborough Open Studios is about creating opportunities for Artists, enabling them to make their work accessible to as many people as possible by welcoming the public into their studios over the weekends throughout July. Should you wish to see a sample of the work prior to a studio visit there will be a month long taster exhibition at The Nataraj Art Space in Marlborough. In addition to this MOS, along with “We love Marlborough”, have arranged for a number of artists to display work in commercial premises throughout the town.Thank you to the organisations and retailers of Marlborough for joining in with the spirit of Open Studios. I trust that there will be something on show that everyone can relate to and enjoy.
I would like to thank the MOS committee for their dedicated work in putting together this brochure and organising what I’m sure will be another successful Open Studios. Thanks also to Wiltshire Council for their generous financial contribution towards the costs of running this year’s event. This brochure provides all the information you need about participants, exhibitions and other activities taking place during July. Open studios and venues are in colour coded zones highlighted on the map in this brochure so that you can devise your own art trails. Opening times and weekends do vary, so please check venue details carefully.
How to find the studios
Beside each Artist's name is a studio number which corresponds to its location on the map. Studio directions are given in each listing and outside each studio will be a sign/poster displaying the studio number. Wheelchair access is marked with a symbol, but please telephone the artist or studio directly if you have any other questions. I hope you enjoy all of the studio visits you make during MOS 2010.
