We’re excited to announce our 2020 Virtual Open Studios Tour & Arts Marketplace, which will take place online from September 12th-September 26th.
For over the last decade, we have hosted the annual Open Studios Art Tour, which is a self-guided tour of artists’ studios throughout San Benito County. This year, due to COVID-19, we’ve created an online artist directory & marketplace to showcase the work of over 30 local artists and artisans with artworks in painting, photography, pottery & ceramics, stained-glass, jewelry and more!
We invite the community to join us for the Open Studios Happy Hour Celebration happening on Friday, Sept. 18th at 6 pm. This is an opportunity to meet our Open Studios artists on Zoom for a live artwork “show & tell.” Enjoy your favorite drink, preview the work, and help us celebrate this year’s group of talented artists. Register for our Happy Hour event & get the Zoom link HERE.
Stay tuned for more upcoming event information with additional links to meet the artists, view and purchase original works of art, and learn more about the processes of art-making. Visit our online Open Studios Arts Marketplace HERE.
