Our guidebooks are a great handy tool to help you enjoy the Open Studios event. They include a map of the area where the artists are based, and information on each participating artist. This includes their full address, what they are creating and the days they are participating.
For 2023 we have printed over 8000 guidebooks, which are completely free to the public. These guidebooks have been distributed across various locations in Birmingham by our coordinators and the artists themselves. You can find them in libraries, coffee shops, community centres, art galleries, supermarkets, hairdressers and more locations.
As guidebooks may run out in certain locations, we have created a shortlist of venues that will have guidebooks continually replenished. Please visit one of the following destinations to pick up yours. Opening times may vary. Please see the website of the venues for information on their location and opening times:
Lux Gallery, Edgbaston Village
Coffin Works, Jewellery Quarter
Bearwood Community Hub (Abbey Road site)
If you live further afield, please contact us and we can post you a guidebook for free
