Registering for the Artists Open Houses

The Artists Open Houses (AOH) usually  has two festivals each year: one during the city’s May festival season, the other in the lead up to Christmas. Due to the unexpected circumstances of COVID-19, the May 2020 Festival was not able to go ahead and has been rescheduled for Autumn/Winter 2020. The four-week festival will incorporate aspects of both the (rescheduled) AOH May festival and the AOH Christmas festival, offering Christmas shopping opportunities as well great art for buyers and collectors. AOH Autumn/Winter 2020 Festival will take place over four weekends in November and December 2020.
