Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tucson Artists' Open Studios?

Tucson artists have traditionally invited the public into their studios twice a year as part of an open studio tour event. For the seventh year in a row, no formal arts organization is coordinating the Spring Open Studios, so this is an artist-initiated event. It will be promoted to the extent of the funds raised.

How can I help?
