Call For Local Artists

‘Inspired by Pippbrook House’ Artists Open Day


Are you a visual artist, sculptor or photographer?

The doors of beautiful Victorian gothic mansion, Pippbrook House, will be opened on Saturday 17th October 2026 exclusively for any artists and photographers who wish to use the stunning interiors and imposing exteriors to inspire new pieces of art.

The House is bursting with history, intricate stone and wood carved details, as well as lavish painted ceilings, meaning there is a huge amount to inspire creative minds.

Welcoming local artists and photographers for a free visit to get artistic inspiration, each artist will then be invited to submit one of their resulting pieces for display at the Arts Alive Finale in Pippbrook House on Thursday 12th November 2026.

The Artists Open Day is free of charge, but anyone wishing to participate must register their interest by emailing [email protected].

Artists can submit one piece of work and photographers can submit up to three photographs. Please note this is not a paid opportunity.
