North East Open Studios (NEOS) is an award winning collective of artists, makers and galleries based in northeast Scotland run on voluntary grounds as a community organisation.

Formed in 2003, we provide an informal contact network for artists, gallery-owners and makers, and help the public access the wealth of creative talent throughout northeast Scotland, winning the NOrthern Lights Tourism Award 2007 for best Aberdeenshire Tourism Initiative.

The open studios event serves to engage wider audiences in all aspects of art; to grow small-scale art and craft business in the north east of Scotland, and to provide a cohesive network of professional artists and makers.

The next NEOS Open Studios event, NEOS'08, will be held over the following dates:
Saturday 13th – Monday 22nd September 2008.
