Please join us April 17-18th in the bright and sunny South of Market (SOMA) neighborhood, to view a multitude of artists within walking distance. Studios are open 12noon - 6pm, Saturday & Sunday, and several will be open for a Friday Artist Reception. (coming soon)

For over 30 years, San Francisco Open Studios has provided the public with an opportunity to see artists in their workspaces. As the largest and first open studios program in the country, San Francisco Open Studios showcases artists without judgment and invites art lovers to make friends and start or build their art collections.

The studios are easy to get to by walking, bicycling or by public transportation. All featured studios are close to the CalTrain station and only a few blocks from Market St. BART stations. Several MUNI bus routes run to the neighborhood including the 9, 10, 12, 15, 27, 30, 45, 47 and metro lines N and T. Nearby street parking is available.
