Medway Open Studios and Arts Festival 2026 is set for  Saturday 4th July – Sunday 19th July, offering a free art trail with fascinating studios to visit.

Now heading into our 14th year, our open studios trail has 34 venues to visit, and work on show by over 250 artists, including painting, printmaking, jewellery, ceramics, photography, textiles, illustration and animation.

Each year, visitors are welcomed to explore the hidden creative work spaces and secret studios across Medway. Along the trail you can take part in art activities and events, view exhibitions, talk to the artists, buy art and crafts, and see first hand the array of artistic talent and opportunities in this impressively creative area of Kent.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page and Instagram feed to see what’s happening at the festival, see the line up of artists and the venues, and get news of events and activities across sixteen days of open studios. We’d love it if you could share any photos you take at the festival and tag us or use #MOSAF2026 or #MedwayOpenStudios on social media.
