OPEN Studio Tour connects local artists with community

Returning for its third annual event, the 2018 Bozeman OPEN Studios Tour will take place Saturday and Sunday, November 3rd–4th from 10:30am–5pm both days. The popular outing, connecting artists with art-lovers, has grown to 27 artists in 22 locations this year. The FREE tour offers participants the experiences of visiting personal art studios, live demonstrations, hands-on learning activities, and studio exhibitions of handmade works for purchase.
The self-guided Open Studio Tour includes artists working in textiles, ceramics, weaving, printmaking, photographic printmaking, woodwork, jewelry, metalsmithing, calligraphy, painting in nearly all mediums, and art therapy.
New this year are a handful of co-working studios, including the recently formed Beall Street Studios LLC; Jeremy Hatch and Tamara Meyer’s professional ceramic work space, with ceramic studios coming available soon; Blunderbuss, a vibrant mix of creatives, including visual artists; and Grainhouse Art, a newly formed cooperative gallery and studio space of Laurel Hatch.
Studio locations range from Downtown Bozeman, the greater Bozeman area in all directions, the MSU Melvin Graduate Studios, Belgrade and Gallatin Gateway. All venues will be marked with street signs. Tour maps are available at www.bozemanopenstudios.weebly.com and from participating artists. Visit the website for complete details about the participating artists and other tour information.
