Brockley open studios 2025

Join our annual art trail around the leafy streets and mews of Brockley the first weekend of July.

Our 2025 open studios takes place:

Saturday 5 July 10am-6pm
Sunday 6 July 10am-6pm

Launch event from 7.30 Thursday 3 July, The Pop Up Shop, Brockley Cross - all welcome

*Please note extended opening hours this year*

Nearly 60 artists confirmed in over 30 locations…

As always, our event is free and open to all. Enjoy a leisurely stroll around the studios and homes of our local artists to see their latest work. It is a wonderful mix of both established artists, who exhibit regularly and have work in public and private collections, and emerging artists. Its focus is on the visual and applied arts. Media range from painting, photography, drawing, printmaking, textiles, illustration ceramics, sculpture to installations and performances. You can go behind the scenes and:

- see work in the context it is being made

- chat to the artists about their inspiration and techniques

- watch live demonstrations

Pop Up Shop exhibition

To widen access and encourage emerging artists we have hired the Pop Up Shop at Brockley Cross again. Artists Sian Hoolahan and Emma Hughes will be exhibiting their latest work. The show will be open in the week leading up to and including the open studios weekend.

FABRIQ Gallery x Brockley Open Studios

Our Story

EstablisheD

1992

FOUNDER

Ruth de Monchaux

Years Running

Thirty

It is early July, summer is buzzing and leafy Brockley is busy as a group of local artists open their studios, exhibiting their work to the delight of the public. This might seem like a fun yet one-off episode for the pleasure of both artists and curious onlookers but this is more than a fad.

Back in 1992, when The Whitechapel Gallery extended the boundaries of its annual East London Open Studios event, a number of resident artists in Brockley decided to take part. Following the event's success, our local artists carried on this tradition independently. This annual event thus became known as the Brockley Open Studios ever since.

Open to any artist living in the catchment area, this yearly event, which normally takes place during the first weekend of July, sees about 30 to 40 artists share their unique works of art to the general public who not only find out about them but also have the opportunity to purchase these works of art.

More than supporting local artists and satisfying the curiosity of the visitors and residents of Brockley, the Brockley Open Studios rekindles the sense of neighbourliness, renews the ties of community, and celebrates the beauty of art in all her varied forms.

Nestled in Brockley, Ladywell and New Cross, the Artists Catchment Area demarcates the neighbourhoods from where artists living in that area are eligible to participate in the Brockley Open Studios.
