Open Studios is your chance to explore one of our art scene’s biggest events + get an inside look at the creative spaces of local artists (#workspacegoals).

While these artists have paintbrushes and canvases, Open Studios is hooking you up with your own tools for the weekend: city-wide maps (because downtown is just the beginning), a full catalogue of each artist, and the brand-new GVL Open Studios app – for your maps, artist info + directions all in one place. The app is available on iOS now, just search GVL Open Studios.

Select studios will be open starting this Friday from 6 – 9 p.m. On Saturday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. + Sunday from 12 – 6 p.m., the welcome mats will all be out and artists will be available to chat about their art. If you’re not sure where to start, head to the 12x12 Exhibit at the MAC Gallery (16 Augusta St.) to see a sample of work from artists on the crawl.
