Hull Open Studios 2026 – Saturday 2 May

Applications open soon for Hull Open Studios 2026, which takes place on Saturday 2 May. Following the success of last year’s first event, which saw more than 20 artists, studio providers and creative businesses take part, we’re inviting artists from across the city to get involved.

Hull Open Studios is a celebration of creativity and community, offering artists the chance to open their doors, share their practice and connect directly with audiences. It’s an opportunity to showcase work, meet new people, sell pieces, and be part of a citywide celebration of Hull’s vibrant creative scene.

New for 2026, the Hull Open Studios Talks Programme at Humber Street Gallery will feature open conversations and roundtable discussions, bringing artists and audiences together to explore ideas and practice in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Full details of these events will be shared over the coming months.

If you’re interested in taking part, applications open Monday 10 November.
