Welcome to our 2009 Open Studios Art Tour! This year, with 87 artists at 56 destinations, you will find a rich and varied selection of talent that ranges from painting and printmaking, photography, sculpture, wood, ceramics, jewelry and much, much more. All artists will be open the first weekend, October 10-11, and most will also be open the second weekend, October 17-18. Both directory and maps are coded accordingly. Just click on “Artists” and “Maps”.

Our gala Preview Reception provides a great opportunity for you to meet the artists, view their artwork, and begin planning your itinerary. Open Studios’ major sponsor, The Center For The Arts, hosts the reception on Thursday, October 8, from 6:30 to 9. The Tour’s Preview Exhibit will hang in the Center’s gallery from October 8 to 18.

You may begin your Tour at any point on the map. Extraneous streets and roads have been removed so that you may more easily see Tour destinations. Although our maps are accurate, you may wish to bring along a standard road map. Pack your car with friends, take a picnic or plan a stop at one of our great restaurants, and have a wonderful time!

Please consider becoming a member of The Center For The Arts. You will be supporting a vibrant and committed organization with a wonderful vision for the future of Nevada County’s creative community.
