San Francisco Bay Area Art Walks, Fairs, Markets & Open Studios
Below are the upcoming art walks and open studios in the San Francisco Bay Area. Each year, most studios open for one weekend only, in conjunction with other nearby studios. Other studios may choose to set their open studios at their own dates and times.
For the time being, I included regional open studios and individual studios doing one-off open studios outside the regional ones.
As for art walks, I mostly included ones specifically focused on recurring art walks vs the one-off/annual art and wine festivals (those will be included in the free weekly newsletters).
Depending on feedback and reader interest, I may add more types of art events, add more details.
