Open Art Folke
↓Open Art Folke is a community of 200+ artists and makers in Folkestone. Since 2024, we've run an open house-style festival to keep the creative energy alive, welcome people into our studios, and take over public spaces to share what we've been making.
Open Art '26 runs 9–11 October 2026

The Festival
A free pass* to connect with talented local creatives, experience their work, and learn about how it’s made.
Find great art waiting to be discovered in studios, shops, parks, cafes, and upstairs in that pub you didn't even know had an upstairs.
There 122 days until the next edition of Open Art Folke
Some things, as you know, just take time
