2022 Central Exhibition

About

To help you decide which artists to visit this year, go along to our Central Exhibition at Lamport Hall. You will be able to view and buy works by the artists taking part in open studios and other exhibitions around the county.

“Lamport Hall has an immensely strong association with art going back to 1676 when Sir Thomas Isham, 3rd Baronet, embarked on his grand tour, which culminated in what is now one of the most notable art collections in the country. Art and the arts are the foundation of cultural fulfilment in Northamptonshire, bringing people together from all backgrounds to celebrate creativity. I am delighted to host Open Studios 2022 in the spectacular Lamport Hall Stableyard.”
Mark Herrod, Director, Lamport Hall


“Art doesn't happen by chance. Artists create ideas, but they need space and time to develop these ideas. For visual artists, it all comes together in the studio, the place where that spark of inspiration catches fire. For most artists, the studio is more than one room set aside for work. I encourage everyone to visit and discover this for themselves. It’s not every day an artist will open up their secret world for us all to experience.”
