Upcoming events.
As well as providing studio space, South Bank Studios also has lots of other creative opportunities.
Our artists run art classes, a wide variety of creative workshops, as well as monthly drawing and crafting groups and even art holidays too!
We hold regular exhibitions including our annual Winter Fair in November (great for finding amazing Christmas gifts from local artists and makers), York Open Studios in April, Studio Sales in September and other events throughout the year. We are also involved with a weekly gallery cafe too on Saturdays.
