Madison Area Open Art Studios is an annual event celebrating the diversity and vitality of the visual arts in the Madison-area. Over 150 artists open their studios to the public for the weekend. Visitors can look at art, talk with artists, and learn about technique and craft, all in an open-house, informal environment.

Visit Art Studios throughout Greater Madison

Special Open Studios Maps will be available, highlighting the location, name and medium of every participating artist. The 2008 Open Art Studios maps will be printed and will be handed out at the opening reception and made available throughout the city and at every open art studio. 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.

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!
