EAST BAY OPEN STUDIOS 2013

June 1 - 2 and 8 - 9, 11am - 6pm

East Bay Open Studios offers an opportunity for art fans of all ages to visit artists' studios, glimpse the creative process, and purchase work directly from local artists. This year, over 400 hundred artists will participate, opening their studios to art adventurers across the East Bay.

Since 1979, this event remains the largest art event in the region and draws an annual audience over 60,000!

Plan Your Open Studios Tour:

  • Pick up a copy of the Directory of East Bay Arts, the event publication that profiles participating artists and includes maps, a 12 month East Bay Arts Calendar and Arts Index. Directories are available at Pro Arts and are distributed in the East Bay Express the first week in June.

  • Log on to the Online Gallery for all your East Bay Open Studios listings and maps. Each participating artist has a fully searchable personalized webpage with image gallery.

  • Self-guided tours can start in downtown Oakland at Pro Arts' gallery - East Bay Open Studios' Headquarters - with a visit to the Preview Exhibition. On view April 30 through June 9, 2013, the Preview Exhibition features over 400 artworks installed salon-style; an awesome display that quickly reveals individual treasures.

  • Attend Open Studios events.
