Bembridge artist, Charlotte Hodge Thomas joins a long list of artists taking part in the Islandwide < Open Studios event coming up at the end of the month.
Between 24th-27th July, she will be opening her doors to members of the public interested in taking a look at her work.
This will be fifth year Charlotte has transformed her living space into a gallery.
“I would encourage people to support the Island’s thriving art community and to visit as many artists as possible during the Open Studios event. Please do not hesitate to walk into an exhibitor’s studio or home for fear of invading their space – we want you to come in and have a look! The array of work displayed from studio to studio promises to be exciting, always diverse and hopefully a worthwhile, enriching experience. There is no obligation to buy anything – although you might just find something really unique you’ll want to take home with you.”
Anybody interested in visiting some of the Open Studios will need to equip themselves with a free copy of The Isle of Wight Arts Directory 2009/10 – which gives full details of the exhibiting artists, where to find their studios and opening times, etc. You can pick up a copy of the directory from libraries, tourist information centres, the Quay Arts Centre and some local restaurants, shops and businesses.
