City Arts Portsmouth CIC is delighted to invite you to POSE 2025 β Portsmouth Open Studios Event β running 24β26 October, 10.30amβ5pm
POSE brings together artists from every background and discipline: painters, ceramicists, printmakers, sculptors, photographers, textile artists, illustrators, animators, installation artists, musicians, performers, and more. The result is a unique snapshot of the creative energy of Portsmouth today.
But POSE is more than an event β it has impact. It strengthens the visibility of artists and makers, giving them opportunities to connect with new audiences, generate sales, gain commissions, and form lasting collaborations. For many artists, POSE is the moment they move from working quietly in isolation to being fully part of the cityβs cultural landscape. For visitors, itβs a chance to step into the creative life of Portsmouth, discovering hidden studios, exploring unexpected venues, and supporting artists by buying something original to take home.
Since its launch, POSE has helped create stronger links between artists, businesses, and communities. It has shown how creativity can thrive in urban spaces and how cultural events can reshape how people see their city. The event celebrates Portsmouthβs identity as a place where ideas, experimentation, and talent are visible, accessible, and shared.
So whether you want to try something new, learn about different artforms, meet the makers, or simply immerse yourself in a weekend of creativity. POSE is Portsmouth at its most creative β and everyone is invited
