Open Art Studios

MISSION STATEMENT

Open Art Studios exists to promote arts and artists in the Greater Madison Area. We seek to increase the visibility of artists and the accessibility to art studios, fostering interaction with the general public and a greater understanding of the artistic process.

Visit Art Studios throughout Greater Madison

Special Open Studios Maps will be available, highlighting the location, name and medium of every participating artist. Shortly before the event, the Open Art Studios maps will be available at the Overture Center Gallery. They will also be available at every open art studio location and most area libraries. This will be your chance to traipse through the community and get to "peek behind the curtain" and see how and where the art is made.

Visit the Exhibition and Map your Journey

The Open Art Studios starts with an exhibit at the Overture Center in downtown Madison. Each of the artists particiapting in the Open Art Studios tour will have a sample of their art work displayed. The exhibit will be in all three galleries located off the Rotunda Lobby.

Have fun at the Studios

Some artists have their own studios, some create the work at home, and others are part of art collaboratives that work and show together. These spaces are full of color and imagination and are fun to visit and explore. Artists will discuss technique, inspiration and process - and you might even get free refreshments!
