Open Houses Our famous Open Houses challenge the concept of art galleries. Residents and local artists across Saltaire village open up their Grade II listed homes, letting you enjoy contemporary art in an intimate, domestic setting, whilst getting a glimpse of life behind the doors of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Open Houses Trail showcases a wide range of contemporary art by both local artists and artists selected from across the UK. The Arts Trail provides a unique chance to see their work, meet them and in most cases the art will be available to buy or commission. Full details of the Open Houses will be published in our Trail Guide. Sat 28 May - Mon 30 May 10am 5pm facebook.com/saltaireinspired
