Participants & Audience

NEOS was primarily set up to provide a focus in the year for arts & craft practitioners to interface directly with the public.

NEOS is not a promotional company - it is simply a "blank canvas" platform for practitioners to use to advertise their own work and practice.

In 2009 there were an estimated 15,000 visitors to the 222 participants, confirming that there is a thirst from the public to see and experience creative practice in the North East of Scotland.

NEOS is more than "just" Scotland's largest open studios event. The catalogue is also a high quality, year round directory for practitioners operating in the North East.

Opportunities

NEOS is being asked to help find artists and makers to participate in new venues and creative outlets.

If you wish to advertise or put a call out for artists, makers or even requests for a venue - to appear in the NEOS Blog, please contact us and we will do all we can to help!
