open studios

Workspace visiting event

Open studios is an event where artists open their workspaces to the public, typically for a weekend.

Visitors can tour studios, watch artists at work, and often purchase pieces directly.

The format builds community between artists and collectors while bypassing gallery representation: The neighborhood holds open studios every fall.
