Our Open Studios
Connecting visitors and artists for the annual San Luis Obispo County Open Studios Art Tour
About the Open Studios Art Tour (OSAT)
The San Luis Obispo County Open Studios Art Tour is a signature annual program of the SLO County Arts Council. Each year during October (National Arts and Humanities Month), dozens of fine artists and crafters across San Luis Obispo County open their private studios free to the public to showcase their art, demonstrate techniques, and share their creative processes.
2026 Tour Dates: October 10–11 & October 17–18 countywide.
Our Open Studios is being built to modernize the tour experience for both visitors and artists—offering digital directories, interactive maps, artist portfolios, and self-guided tour itineraries.
