Welcome to the tour
SLOCounty Arts is pleased to offer the 27th year of the Open Studios Art Tour in San Luis
Obispo County. The tour is a chance for locals and visitors alike to experience the creativity of the Central Coast in a completely unique way—by not only viewing art, but getting an inside look into the artists’ creative process and practices all in the space where their art is made. Explore studios, talk with the artists, and take in the surroundings that inspire their work.
The tour is free to the public and all artwork purchased on the tour directly supports the participating artists. To plan your route, simply browse through this catalog! Use the maps in the back to locate studios and look through artists by medium in the appendix to find the art that excites you.
For 27 years, SLO County Arts has proudly supported our local artists in sharing their talents during the Open Studios Art Tour. Whether this is a seasoned artist or first-timer, we are excited to help shine a light on their creative practice, from painting to jewelry, woodworking to glasswork, and so many more. If you value our work of advancing the arts, please consider making a donation. Every amount helps us to provide accessible arts programming, advocate for state arts
funding, and ensure SLO County is a destination for the arts!
Have a great tour!
