The oriel CRiC gallery’s Open Art exhibition has become one of the much anticipated highlights of the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend. As number one in the guide to the Studios and exhibitions, it is the perfect starting point for a wonderful art filled weekend while also exploring everything that Crickhowell and the surrounding area has to offer.

Visitors can explore and discover the joy of collecting affordable art created by more than 300 artists in Studios, galleries and pop-up artist collectives in unusual spaces across the area. The venues are very varied: in an artist's home or work room, in purpose made studios, with some in cafes, churches and galleries. The beauty of visiting several studios is that each is unique, with its own charm - you're sure to have a warm welcome and to come away feeling inspired, taking home a token of your visit or having signed up to a workshop or class.

Free printed guides will be widely available in shops, galleries, libraries and tourist information centres across the area or from the Crickhowell Resource & Information Centre, CRiC, Beaufort Street, Crickhowell, NP8 1BN T: 01873 813667 Copies can be requested from: gallery@visitcrickhowell.wales
