Santa Barbara Studio Artists - Annual Studio Tour

Every Labor Day Weekend in Santa Barbara over 40 Studio Artists open their studios to the public.

The Annual Santa Barbara Studio Artists Tour has had international acclaim since 2001. As always, it occurs over the Labor Day Weekend. The tour comprises successful award-winning visual artists in their studios where you will discover a veritable treasure trove of fine art by top US artists representing landscape painting, contemporary painting, figurative painting, sculpture and assemblage and abstract, impressionist, and expressionist styles unique to the Santa Barbara area.

Visitors can begin at the Divine Inspirations Gallery at 1528 State Street in Santa Barbara and to see a representative exhibit of artwork by the artists on the tour. Then, use your ticket/map and brochure to plot your self-guided tour. Look for the yellow balloons displayed at each location.

Studios are open from 11am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. There will be a reception with the artists at the Divine Inspiration Gallery on Friday night from 6pm to 9pm. The reception is included in the price of the ticket.
