Lunesdale Arts said: “This year’s Lunesdale Arts Open Studio event brings together a diverse and talented group of local artists, each offering a unique perspective and creative voice.

“The participating artists are all based in and around the beautiful Lune Valley, drawing inspiration from its landscapes, heritage, and community.

"This is a rare opportunity to step inside their working studios, see their creative process up close, and engage directly with the people behind the art.”
