For me it was lovely thank you to everyone who visited virtually or physically 🥰 #Repost @openstudioscornwall • • • • • • And with that, we say farewell to @openstudioscornwall for another year, and what an amazing event it was, despite all the obstacles in our path! It was a subdued affair for some participants, for others it was intensive; either way it was markedly different from previous years. As always, the event provided a chance to make new acquaintances and reunite with former ones, for conversational exchange and human connection, for moments of inspiration, an opportunity to rethink one’s process and work, to secure commissions, and to wave visitors off having made a sale or two. For visitors to gain privileged access to private studios, flick through sketchbooks, handle works in progress, watch an artist at work and question them about what drives their creations. At a time of social restriction and isolation with people unable to access many arts and cultural venues, this year more than ever, it felt vital that we find a way of connecting people together in this way, of facilitating visitors in safely crossing the threshold into another person’s artistic space of production and into different imaginative worlds. Congratulations to all who took part in Open Studios Cornwall 2020, either virtually, physically or both, and many thanks to all those who visited! Thank you for your patience, resilience, and hard work in making your studio spaces safe and visitors feel welcomed. We hope to see you all again next year for 2021!
