We’d love to invite you on a journey that promises inspiration, connection, and the simple joy of discovery—the FarOpen Art Trail.
This annual event opens the doors to a vibrant community of artists across the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. From paintings and prints to ceramics, textiles, glass, and sculpture—every medium is represented, and every artist has a unique story to share.
But this is more than just an art trail. It’s a rare opportunity to step into the creative spaces where art is born, to meet the people behind the work, and to gain insight into the process that brings each piece to life.
Why Buy Art?
Owning original art is one of life’s quiet pleasures.
Original Art is excellent value for money—unlike mass-produced decor, an original piece brings lasting joy, year after year.
Art in all forms nourishes the soul—surrounding yourself with meaningful, hand-crafted work enhances your space and enriches your life.
It’s deeply personal—buying from an artist you’ve met, whose story you know, makes each piece even more special.
Whether you’re starting a collection or simply looking for that one piece that speaks to you, the FarOpen Art Trail is the perfect place to find something truly unique.
We look forward to welcoming you into our studios—come for the art, stay for the conversation, and take home something that will bring you joy for years to come.
