About Isle of Wight Open Studios

For decades, Isle of Wight Open Studios has been a cornerstone of cultural exploration on the Island, allowing the public a rare glimpse into the creative processes of artists.

In 2024, Isle of Wight Open Studios launched as a Community Interest Company (CIC), with a dynamic team of creative volunteers leading the way for the event to prosper well into the future. We aim to champion creative practices and showcase the diverse talent that exists here on our Island. This exciting endeavour invites everyone to be part of shaping an inspiring cultural legacy, by building a sustainable and vibrant future for the arts on the Isle of Wight.

Our Directors are business coach Jeanette Howells, cultural producer - Georgia Newman; and artist - Caroline Underwood. Their roles are to oversee the company structure, strategic direction and overall running of Isle of Wight Open Studios. Together they work with a wider Action Team to support all areas of the Isle of Wight. The Action Team ensures participating artists are supported and championed through this annual event, collectively aiming to foster a vibrant arts scene on the Island that appeals to both seasoned enthusiasts and young, passionate creatives.
