Lack of Art Funding is starting to bite

Dear Open Studios & Arts Trail Organisers,

It is with great sadness that I am writing to announce that South West Open Studios will cease trading and www.southwestopenstudios.org will be taken down on 1 January 2011.

South West Open Studios has been ticking over without funding for sometime and unfortunately the current financial climate means that further grant funding has not be forthcoming and it is for this reason that South West Open Studios is being dissolved.

We'd like to wish artists, open studio and arts trail coordinators across the South West success in 2011.

Best Wishes

Bill Crumbleholme, Chair
