OPEN STUDIOS TOUR 2024
SAVE THE DATES! The 2024 Open Studios Tour will once again be held the first three weekends in October. The 2024 Tour features over 150 artists at over 100 studio locations throughout Boulder County.
The annual Open Studios TOUR is a free, all-ages, self-guided tour of artists’ working studios, held Saturdays and Sundays, noon to 5:00 pm each day of the first, second, and third weekends of October. This year, those dates are October 5th & 6th, 12th & 13th, and 19th & 20th. Each studio is open to host visitors the first two weekends; artists may elect to participate the third weekend, or not.
During the Tour, you will meet and get to know artists in a way not possible at any other time. You’ll learn the stories behind their artwork: what motivates and inspires them, as well as the processes, style, philosophy and so much more about their work.
Some studios on our Tour offer kids art activities. You’ll be able to sign up to take art classes from those artists who teach, and of course! you can shop for a perfect piece of art to enhance your own environment or to give as a gift to someone special.
Watch this page for the announcement of the 2024 participating artists. Our Tour Guidebook, complete with Artists’ Catalog, maps, recommendations for getting the most out of your Tour experience and MORE will be available September 7th.
