St. Michaels Studios

Started in 1999, St Michael's Studios has established Bridport as one of the most exciting artistic communities in the West Country, providing work and exhibition space for twenty-five award-winning painters, sculptors, illustrators, designers and photographers.

As well as Dorset Art Weeks, we also have frequent exhibitions throughout the year, with our main Open Studios over the August Bank Holiday Weekend. We also have Open events over the May Bank Holiday weekend and before Christmas. A number of artists also open on Saturdays.
