The artists taking part come from across Falkirk with most participating creatives based in D2 Creative Centre in Larbert. For this first year, artists with an association to the Creative Centre will be prioritised and submission is by invitation.

Open Studios events have a long history, and there are many of them Nationwide (even Internationally). Each is run locally, and for the past 12 years the Open Studios event for Central Scotland was ‘Forth Valley Art Beat’.  When the event wasn’t scheduled for 2024 or 2025, some of the artists in Falkirk. inspired by Open Studios Stirlingshire, decided to create their own smaller and more local event instead, hosted by D2 Creative Studios.

Thanks to help from Artlink Central /Scene Stirling, an Open Studios Stirlingshire event will take place in Summer 2025.

Open Studios Falkirk showcases some of the many talented artists and makers of the area, giving an exciting taste of the working lives of the creative people in the Falkirk area, the spaces where they make their work, and an insight into how living in the town and area have often inspired their work. 

During the event visitors are invited to visit Artists and Makers, often in their working studios. It is an opportunity to see what they do, discuss their ideas, techniques and materials, be inspired or even ‘have a go’, try a new skill, join a workshop, and buy work directly from the artists.

Come and see paintings, pottery, photography, jewellery and lots more!
