About the Open Studio Tour

All studios are open to the public Saturday & Sunday,
from 11am to 5pm, November 14 & 15, 2009.

This free, self-guided tour provides an up close and personal view of Tucson’s artists. Visit local artists of every kind -- local bookmakers, sculptors, photographers, ceramic artists, fiber artists, metalsmiths, glass blowers, and painters. See artworks in every stage, from start to finish. Explore what lies behind the creative process, and learn about Tucson’s vibrant arts scene.

Naturally, you won't be able to visit every studio, so review the online and/or printed program and look for what you like. All of the studios are interesting and quite different from one another. The artists create a welcoming atmosphere for their visitors, and are happy to answer questions.
