Open Studios

Planning a trip to the San Francisco Bay Area in June or October? What about the Grand Canyon in September, or the UK in May or July?

Open Studio events allow you to see art in the environment in which it was created, as well as to meet the artists personally and perhaps, if your wallet allows, to purchase artwork directly from the source.

And what better way to get an ‘off the beaten path’ experience than to follow one that will take you into neighborhoods and artists’ studios not on the tourist map!

If you are putting on a group open studios event, please send the name of the event, a link to the we site, and the dates.

Quote of the Moment

Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

– Miriam Beard

If you are an artist, writer, photographer, collector, or interested in any aspect of art or cultural travel, please join in the conversation on our newly forming social network! Post your artwork, your photographs, share your knowledge while giving and getting answers to your art and travel questions. Not quite ready for prime time ... (but you can become a beta tester :)

artist-at-large is a newly forming creative community for artists, writers, photographers, and cultural travelers, and for those who love these subjects. Good for both artist and collector, trip researcher and armchair traveler, you will find a blend of community, conversation, travel tales and information, quirky survey questions, photos of the day, and listings for exhibitions, open studios, and cultural events from around the world. The stories and information presented on the site are written in a way that are meant to be valuable over a long period of time, like an art or travel magazine or guidebook that you keep by your desk and flip through when you need information, or just want to daydream, while the community is meant to engage and inspire.
