Thank you to the hundreds of people who visited our studios in November 2025. We hope you enjoyed discovering the answer to the question’ What do artists do all day?’ 

We plan to repeat the studio trail for the third time over the weekend of 7-8 November 2026 with twice as many artists and makers across East Berkshire. You are invited to come and discover art you will love living with.

We believe that original art isn’t an investment or a luxury—it’s something that enriches everyday life. To be kept informed of all the new artists and developments, why not sign up to our short and friendly newsletter? Scroll to the bottom of this page to add your email. We send a newsletter once a fortnight with news from Acorn artists and the wider art community.

As a group we want to encourage accessibility to art and artists by sharing what goes on behind the scenes. As well as works of art, there may well be unique gifts to tempt you ahead of the festive season.

Follow us on Instagram or sign up for our short fortnightly newsletter (scroll to the bottom of this page) for the latest news and updates.
