Santa Barbara Studio Artists’ 2024 Open Studios Tour ~ Labor Day Weekend

Santa Barbara Studio Artists proudly announce the return of their annual Open Studios Tour on Labor Day weekend, Saturday, August 31 – Monday, September 2, 2024, with an opening reception on Friday, August 30, from 5:00-8:00 pm at the Community Arts Workshop, 631 Garden Street.

Maps & Brochures will be available at CAW beginning August 30, at the Friday Night Reception, through Monday September 2 at CAW.

The largest and most prestigious event of its kind on the Central California Coast, the tour is also one of the most-anticipated annual events in the regional art world. Collectors, gallery owners, fellow artists, and art students flock to the open studios to chat with the artists, see their latest works, and get a glimpse into their creative process.

Open studios are marked by yellow flags, and a map of their locations. Tickets are available online. Maps, tickets and brochures will be available at the Community Arts Workshop during the reception and throughout the weekend. Tour hours are 11 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Saturday through Monday. Tickets are $25 (children under 12 are free).

This year’s beneficiary is the Grace Fisher Foundation (Mission: To connect people living with disabilities to music, art, dance, and other forms of artistic expression to provide an accessible space for community inclusion, education, creation, and self-discovery).
