NROS celebrates its 2026 award winners

Artists across Northamptonshire and Rutland have been recognised at the closing ceremony of Northants & Rutland Open Studios 2026, with awards offering exhibition opportunities, creative experiences and support for their practice.

The ceremony marked the close of a festival that brought artists and audiences together through open studios, group exhibitions and the Central Exhibition at Lamport Hall.

From gallery exhibitions and workshops to materials, framing and professional support, the prizes give recipients opportunities to develop their work, reach new audiences and try something different.

The awards also recognise the wider community behind NROS: the artists who share their expertise, the volunteers who give their time, and the galleries, businesses and organisations that support creative opportunities across both counties.

Congratulations to every recipient, and thank you to everyone who helped make NROS 2026 possible.
