Harleston & Waveney Art Trail - Open Studios For three weekends this July the "Harleston & Waveney Art Trail" is being held in the UK. They're weekends where a group of artists open up their studio doors to the public. The artists work in different mediums and styles, but are located close to each other as you can walk or bicycle along the art trail.

Earl has taken the art trail and gives the following advice.. "But please try to avoid some of my mistakes. In one lady's house I was admiring her unmade bed and said I thought it was better than work by Tracy Emin but then her husband yelled and shook his fists at me. I told him he was one of the best performance artists I'd seen in years and he then chucked me out. It was certainly a very moving and emotional experience. The next studio I visited had a very impressive fish tank but I thought comparisons with the work of Mr Hirst were perhaps best left unsaid."

More information can be found at the Harleston, Norfolk website here. I'm located nowhere near Norfolk or the UK, but I love the idea of a group of artists opening up their studios.

Here's a list of the artists opening up their studio for the art trail weekends.. (which are the weekends of the 5th/6th, the 12th/13th, and the 19th/20th of July).
