Gertrude Open Day 2024

Once a year, Gertrude opens our private studios to the public, providing audiences with a special opportunity to explore the Preston spaces, meet the artists, view works in progress and experience the environment in which Gertrude Studio Artists create their work.

Join Gertrude on Saturday 20 April for a day-long program of workshops, studio tours and artist talks. All events are free and no bookings are required. 

Gertrude will host visitors onsite from 11am, and throughout the afternoon, the public is invited to take part in workshops led by Gertrude Studio Artists, studio tours led by Gertrude's staff, and an artist talk coinciding with our current artistic program. Each workshop is suitable for children and adults of all ages.

3:00 – 6pm | Artist Talk by exhibiting artists from Stupid As in conversation with curated Alex Gawronski and Gertrude Artistic Director Mark Feary, followed by an Exhibition Opening Celebration.
