Picture this - a new space to showcase our young artists

LINK-UP BETWEEN STUDIOS AND MUSEUM IS A 'FANTASTIC' OPPORTUNITY

- 

A NEW partnership is aiming to nurture the next generation of artistic talent in Cambridge.

Cambridge Open Studios has joined forces with the Fitzwilliam Museum to support young artists aged 18 to 28. The partnership will enable up to five young artists to benefit from a unique opportunity to access free studio space at the Fitzwilliam in July to create, exhibit to the public and sell their artwork.

They will also enjoy access to the museum's world-class collections and be mentored by artworld professionals from Cambridge Open Studios and the Fitzwilliam Museum.

For more than 50 years, Cambridge Open Studios has welcomed the public into the working studios of artists across Cambridgeshire who showcase their creative processes and practice and give access into their studios, gardens and homes.

Cambridge's July Open Studios is the oldest continuously-run open studios event in the UK and includes a community of around 500 artists working in diverse media and styles.
