Eligibility Guidelines

Open to all artists and artisans living AND working in the Shire of Chittering and Surrounds. This includes professional, established, emerging, student and hobby artists. 

  • Also open to art groups, student groups and art clubs working in the region. Art groups can make a single group application, but will only receive 1 listing describing their group, not the individual artists.

  • All artists must ideally have their own studio workplace ready to open for the event. If your studio is unsuitable for visitors please let us know and we may be able to find a venue for you to participate.

  • Artist are required to be present and their studio open for their published times.

  • Artists sharing a studio or participating together must each pay a separate registration fee. Artists may not allow any unregistered artist to display work or share their space.

 

If you are unsure about your eligibility please contact us at northernvalleysopenstudios@gmail.com

​

Please note: All artist applications will be reviewed by NVOS and NVOS reserve to right to decline any application. Unsuccessful applicants will be refunded.

​

Other Open Studio events report that studios with more than one artist are more often frequented by the public.  Artists can invite guest artists to collaborate at their studio and they can come from anywhere.  Also, if your studio is not suitable for the general public to visit, you can become a guest at someone else's studio.

What does it cost

  • The registration fee is $100 ea for private, individual artists (including those sharing private studio spaces)

  • The registration fee for registered art groups, student groups and art clubs is $250

  • For new artists, there is a requirement to purchase at least one NVOS roster/directional sign each (or one for your location if you're a group). You may want to order more depending on your particular area.
