CAMBR IDGE OPEN STUDIOS Each weekend in July (6/7, 13/14, 20/21, 27/28) artists and craftspeople are opening parts of their homes, or studios, to the public, for a chance to see all kinds of work plus get an insight into the creative process. This year there are 95 new members taking part and, as well as Cambridge itself, you’ll be able to spot the distinctive yellow COS flags outside participating studios in villages around Royston, Saffron Walden, St Ives, Ely and Chatteris. It’s a great way to see the latest in fine art, photography, pottery, glassmaking, sculpture, textiles, jewellery, furniture making and much more. For more info, visit the website to pick up one of the yellow guides, found in libraries, galleries and selected shops, for a list of the artists and which weekends you can see their work. We’ll have a full preview next month. camopenstudios.co.uk
ART BATTLE You might have seen a slam poetry battle, but have you ever seen a live art battle? Now’s your chance, as two contemporary artists will be sparring against one another in an edgy clash of creativity at the Art Hound Fight Club on 28 June. The event is the launch party of this year’s Art Hound Gallery Summer Open House, which will see the Secret Garden Marquee at Burwash Manor filled with over a thousand pieces of artwork to browse between 28 and 30 June. The pair juking it out for the crowd are urban artists Charlotte Cooper and Alan Rogerson (with the finished pieces then going up for sale), and there will be drinks and music to enjoy. Elsewhere in the marquee, there will be a huge variety of work to explore, dating from 1910 to the present day, featuring all 20th century genres and the big names of both modern and contemporary art, including Picasso, Banksy, Tracey Emin and Matisse. thearthoundgallery.com
