POSE is more than an Open Studio event; it's a community of passionate artists coming together to celebrate art in all its forms. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, ceramicist, photographer, musician street artist, Performance Artist or work in any other medium, POSE welcomes artists of every genre and discipline. Our aim is to showcase the talent we have in the city and surrounding areas, and elevate the status of our artistic community. Through the fees paid by participants and some fundraising initiative's we can hold a POSE with PurPOSE. Offering Paid work to an artist and to  to Mentor a young adult who may not have come to the arts through a non traditional route. 

 

Over the weekend of 25-27th October from10 am -5.30 artists will be opening up their studios to share their work with you, talk about their creative process and offer the opportunity to buy or commission work directly from the maker. Here is the list of POSE 2024 participants without whom, and some help from local businesses and Portsmouth City Council, none of this would be possible. This year we have managed to find locations in Cosham and the north of the city with Casemates Studios hosting, Making Space. We hope this will grow with locations popping up all over the PO1and PO6 postcodes over the next couple of years.
