If you love visual art then you will love Somerset Art Week because this bi-ennial showcase of visual art includes sculpture, painting, photography, textiles, print, pottery, furniture, lighting, basketry, film, glass, media, metalwork, jewellery, ceramics and much, much more.

The Somerset Art Week exists to promote the visual arts and create opportunities for visual artists. Throughout Somerset you can choose from over 260 venues ranging from open studios, exhibitions, residencies, installations and special events. The showcase is usually held in September and shows the best of established artists and makers as well as from those with emerging talent.

It started in 1994 and since that time Somerset Art Week has provided a wonderful opportunity for visual artists and makers of all kinds to show their work and open up their studios to a highly appreciative public. It has also enabled artists themselves to become more aware of each other's existence and the rich mix of creative activity, which they provide within Somerset.

The biennial Art Week has become an important event in Somerset's calendar, delighting art lovers from near and far, so whether your looking to delight your home or business with art, wanting to have a great afternoon out, looking to commission your ideas or just like to do something alternative during your stay, Somerset Art Week has something to offer everyone.
