Open Studios Artist Gallery

Open Studios is one of the most popular annual events in Santa Cruz, and for good reason. Those who attend the event know what a treat it is to be able to visit studios around the county and see such amazing art.

With over 300 studios in the tour it can be overwhelming to try to see all the ones you want to. In an effort to help you narrow down your list (or maybe expand it!), we’ve compiled slideshows of studios from North County and South County artists.

Take a virtual tour through some of the artist’s studios in the slideshows below. Artist names and their artist number from this year’s Open Studios Guide accompany each image. If you prefer to view the images in a gallery instead of a slideshow, then head over to our Gallery on Facebook.
