If you missed it, here's what you missed:
  • 74 Artists • 43 Studio Locations
  • Two weekends of art!
  • From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily
  • Look for our yellow & purple signs!

We open our studios the last two weekends of September every year, and we love to meet you, share our artwork, share our creative processes, and welcome you to our creative spaces. 

Our studios stretch throughout the Napa Valley, from Calistoga in the north and Angwin to the east, all the way down to Napa and American Canyon in the south. You can visit painters, sculptors, potters, glass artists, weavers, printmakers, photographers, jewelry makers, and more. Please visit our website at NapaValleyOpenStudios.org  to see who participated in 2012 and find out more information. And you are welcome to contact our artists throughout the year!
