Marin Open Studios 20th Annual May 11, 2013

Marin Open Studios is a vibrant, community wide event that celebrates Marin’s rich culture of art.   This annual, free, self-guided art tour in Marin County marks its 20th year the first two weekends in May 2013. Art patrons, admirers, and collectors can venture out on self-guided tours to see artists and their artworks for engaging dialogue and glimpse into the life of the working artist.
Marin County is known for not only its natural beauty but for the quality and quantity of the artists it attracts.  Per capita, more artists live in Marin than in any other county in the United States!  Over 250 artists open their doors to show their work spaces and share both works in progress and completed pieces. Artwork is for sale and there is a chance to spark your imagination through exchange of ideas and conversations about creativity and techniques. Attendees will be inspired by painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, graphics, print-making, glass, jewelry, mixed media and more!  
Plan your Open Studios Tour with the comprehensive Artist Guide – maps – including a bicycle map, highlights, images of artist’s works all included. Visit the Marin Open Studios website for digital version for the guide as well as a list of locations where guides are available. Best way to plan is to visit the Preview Gallery Exhibition at #325 Town Center in Corte Madera. Each of the participating artists has one of their works on display. The Exhibition at Town Center stays open from April 19 - May 12 daily. The Preview Gala on April 27th from 5-8 is open to the public and kicks off the 20th anniversary event.

May 11 - 12: Studios open 11-6 in Nicasio, San Geronimo, Woodacre, Fairfax, San Anselmo, Northern San Rafael (Terra Linda) and Novato
