Date: 26 November – 4 December 2005
Venue: Backwater Artists Studios

Project Description:
Backwater Studios are open to the public from 25 November to 4 December 2005. At the time 33 artists were working in the studios with their work varying from drawing/painting to sculpture and new media. Many of the artists gave talks on their work, in their own unique ways. The open studios coincided with ‘Un/Inhibited’ - video projections of works from both local and international artists – on 25 November. The general public was invited to view the diversity of work on show in the individual studios and corridor galleries and to meet the individual artists working in the studios.
