Three arty things in August 2026
Now that the flurry of Open Studios is over, what else can we see and do? Here is a little selection.
Eyes On Summer Exhibition. Fitzroy Street.
The organisers say: "Opening night is Friday 7th August - 7pm - 10pm, and is free and open to all that can make it.
The exhibition, featuring 24 artists and over 100 individual artworks, will be open Saturday 8th until Sunday 16th of August - 10am - 6pm - 12-14 Fitzroy Street CB1 1EW (the former Argos space near the Grafton Centre)."
Will be intriguing to see how the old Grafton Centre space is shaping up as an art venue.
