ARTWEEK
Holmfirth Artweek
Since 1966 – Celebrating 60 years of Artweek in the Holme Valley
Artweek 2027
Sunday 4th – Saturday 10th July
One of the UK’s Largest Open Art Exhibitions. Featuring hundreds of artists across dozens of venues in the local area.
Holmfirth Artweek is a local event with a national reputation. The majority of the exhibitors are from this area but large numbers of visitors come from all over the country to view and to buy. It is astounding how much artistic talent there is locally and it is this that makes the event such a success every year.
In 2027 there will be no main exhibition at the Civic Hall. Instead the event will focus on the Holmfirth Artweek Fringe. This collection of venues across the local area features an exciting and diverse array of work from photographers, painters, ceramicists, sculptors and many more.
Artweek is a selling exhibition – a commission of 20% is paid by artists on all sales made in the Exhibition, Market and Fringe with proceeds shared between national and local charities.
Artweek 2025 made donations to charity of
£40,000
Since our first show in 1966, Holmfirth Artweek
has raised a grand total of £1,175,000 for good causes!
GET INVOLVED
All the people you see front of house at the Exhibition are volunteers – stewards, door staff, cafe staff, sales staff (not to mention those behind the scenes who you may not see – organisers, screen builders, picture hangers, administrators, design and marketing, etc.). The whole event is run by volunteers and we need lots of people each day to keep things running smoothly.
If you can spare even just a few hours please get in touch.
