Open studio

In the 21st century, the open studio (often taking the form of a virtual or internet location) focuses on the creative act of making and sharing, in a flexible space equipped with a range of contemporary media and multimedia.

Artists and non-artists come together in a social act of collaboration, the only entry requirements being an inquisitive nature, a curiosity about new and traditional media, and a lack of inhibition about creating in a semi-public space.

A modern-day open studio blurs the boundaries between theory and practice, sparking insights and enabling the discovery of new kinds of meaning.

First run in November 2006 inside the city wall of Nicosia,[1] Open Studios presented the opportunity for visitors to visit and see artists work from both sides of the divide.

The purpose of this event is to present the opportunity to the general public to meet and discuss the work of the artist in an informal and relaxed environment.
