SEPTEMBER 18-19 & SEPTEMBER 25-26
Every year at the end of September, local art lovers, art collectors and buyers excitedly anticipate the coming of harvest time, and the 28-year tradition of Open Studios in the Napa Valley. It’s a free, self-guided, art discovery tour that takes place over the last two weekends in September (both Saturday and Sunday). This year, 56 participating artists have been preparing to share their artwork with locals and visitors from all over the United States. Whether you’re an avid collector or just curious about art, this is an incredible opportunity to peek into the creative spaces of Napa Valley, meet the artists, watch demonstrations, and buy local art right from the source! This is your chance to own your piece of Napa Valley creativity and display it proudly and lovingly in your home and business. Open Studios Napa Valley is committed to bringing you the best event to date. The artists have had two years to create new works and many other special items that art lovers are sure to enjoy. The program exists today because the artists, many participating for decades, believe in the importance and value of opening their studios to visitors and sharing a unique, artistic experience. Catalogs include information about the participating artists, along with pictures of their work, studio locations, and a location may. Look for a catalog at many local Napa businesses, including the Art Gallery Napa Valley (1307 1st Street), Jessel Gallery (1019 Atlas Peak Road), and Color Theory Art Supplies (3250 California Boulevard). You may also download a copy of the catalog at artnv.org. AANV-Art Association Napa Valley is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that contributes to local scholarships. Members of our 100% volunteer organization contribute hundreds of hours. We thank our generous sponsors for their financial support to ensure Open Studios Napa Valley continues to be an important event in our community.
