Committee Changes |
We’re welcoming new energy into the committee with Drew Markou and Clare-Louise Battersby stepping in as joint Chairs, taking over from Lynne Staples-Scott (who remains on the committee to support the new team).
We also say a big thank you to Val Thomson and Charley Sim, who are stepping down after many years of brilliant contributions, and welcome Rosemary Kaye, who will be taking over as secretary. |

Brand and Social Media Refresh |
| |
We’re giving our brand and social media a fresh new look. This refresh isn’t just about a change in design – it’s all about aligning our messaging with what North East Open Studios was originally set up to achieve.
We want our collective identity to shine through clearly, making it easier for everyone to recognise and feel part of our creative community. |

We’re working hard behind the scenes to make sure everything is set for an amazing open studios event in September. More information will be on the website soon, but if you have any questions in the meantime, just drop us an email at [email protected]. |
