We present UBVRcIc photometry of stars, down to the 20th magnitude, in the region of the intermediate-age open cluster NGC 381. The core and the cluster radii are estimated to be 2.99 ± 0.93 and 5.6 ± 0.1 arcmin, respectively. A total of 350 probable cluster member stars are identified by using proper motion from GAIA as the criterion of membership. The mean proper motion of the cluster is ūx = 1.55 ± 0.38 mas yr-1, ūy = -2.19 ± 0.39 mas yr-1. We notice an anomalous reddening as the optical total-to-selective extinction ratio in the direction of the cluster Rcluster = 3.7 ± 0.1. The reddening E(BV) = 0.35 ± 0.04 mag is found in the direction of the cluster NGC 381. The distance to the cluster is 957 ± 93 pc and the cluster has an estimated age of log(Age)=8.50 ± 0.05 years.
