Experience art intimately in artists' homes and studios at Open Studios Weekend, a self-guided tour of artists' creative spaces in the Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods. 20 artists will open their studios/spaces to the public from noon until 5pm, featuring photography, painting, sculpture, collage, metalwork, basketry, textile arts, watercolor, glass, and mixed media.

This is the fourth year for this event, and we continue to draw new artists and visitors each time. Many participants are known and/or emerging artists, whose work is ripe for collecting. This is a great opportunity to meet artists one-to-one and see their process.
