Where to host 
​Artists Studio Tours

You may host the event in your own home or studio. Or you may gather in a location with other artists. It's more fun with multiple artists and visitors like seeing multiple artists at each site.

​If you are hosting an open studio, please limit the exhibition to your own work and the work of other open studio participating artists. All participating artists must pay the registration fee; please do not invite artists who have not paid the registration fee.
