Artist Registration for IW Open Studios 2026 Is Now Closed

Artist registration for IW Open Studios 2026 closed at midnight on Saturday 1 February. A huge thank you to everyone who has registered to take part! We’re really looking forward to sharing what’s shaping up to be another brilliant Island-wide programme with an incredible 200 artists participating!

With registrations now closed, we’re officially moving into the next phase of planning and delivery, and there’s lots happening behind the scenes as we gear up for May.
