Open Studios Art Tour
October 11-12 and October 18-19, 2025
The San Luis Obispo County Open Studios Art Tour, a program of SLO County Arts Council, takes place each year over two weekends in October, National Arts and Humanities Month. Free to the public, fine artists and crafters open their studios to showcase their art and share their processes. Visitors create their own self-guided tours using the catalog of participating artists.

Artists are listed by region and city. There is also an index of artists by medium at the end of the catalog along with a section where you can make notes of which studios you’re interested in visiting. Maps are available after the artist listings as a visual aid to get a better idea of studio locations in relation to each other, though we recommend using a navigation tool or app to guide yourself to each studio (tip: there is a Google Map with all artist locations right here on this webpage). You can also find some tips for making the most of your tour on page 6!

Plan Your Route & Get Directions
We’ve added all 141 artists participating in the tour to one big Google Map of the 2025 tour! Cities are color coded, and clicking on the individual markers pulls up information on each location marker (including address, artist information, whether the studio is a shared studio, and more).

From wheel throwing to stained glass techniques, many artists are hosting demonstrations during the tour weekends.
FAQs for Visitors
-
Open Studios Art Tour allows artists the chance to display a majority of their work in one place. Visiting studios during the tour gives you the chance to interact with artists on an intimate level and go deeper into their process. As Arroyo Grande artist Tania Alexander puts it, “the Open Studios Art Tour is the one time people from across the county come into my art space and view my creative process for themselves, allowing me to closely connect with those that make my art their own.”
-
Catalogs are located at partnering businesses and galleries across the county! Find them at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, Art Center Morro Bay in Morro Bay, Art Central in San Luis Obispo, EDNA Contemporary Gallery in San Luis Obispo, The Bunker SLO in San Luis Obispo, and The Gallery AG in Arroyo Grande.
The catalog is not currently available for download.

To help visitors plan their route, the catalog contains color indicators that show if an artist’s studio is open on the first, second, or both weekends. All artists on the tour are required to be open from 10am to 5pm.
-
We create digital maps via Storymaps and Google Maps that are linked on the Open Studios Art Tour website in advance of the tour weekends in fall. The catalog also lists the complete street address for each artist studio, so you can plug it into the navigation app of your choice!
-
We recommend leaving your pets at home. Studios are filled with breakables and valuable art and many artists may not allow your pet inside.
