Do you live outside the (01273 telephone code) area but want to participate in AOH?
Or would you like to exhibit and sell your work but are not able to open your own house?
You can join the AOH directory of Artists Seeking Houses and showcase your work, so that Open Houses looking for artists to exhibit with them can contact you.
If you would like the opportunity to showcase your work on the Artists Open Houses website, you can subscribe for a period of 12 months at a cost of just £25.
You will need to renew your subscription every 12 months.
Many galleries and designers also browse our website looking for new artists to feature in their galleries and publications.

Houses might be looking for someone whose work fits with their other guest artists, who is happy to share in the costs and who is available to invigilate, so it is helpful if you are clear on these points in order to stand out.
AOH regularly emails Open House venues with updates from the AOH Directory of Artists Seeking Houses. We also send mailings out to the Artists Seeking Houses mailing list on behalf of Open House venues who have approached AOH seeking help with finding artists.
