The Open Studio Tour, hosted by the Tucson Arts Foundation, is one of the most anticipated arts events of the year—when thousands of art lovers drive across the region to meet artists, see their workspaces, and experience creativity up close. For Desert Artisans Gallery, it’s the perfect opportunity to welcome visitors who want the richness of the tour without the driving.

Many of our artists don’t have home studios open to the public, so during the Open Studio Tour weekend they bring their creativity right into the gallery with live demonstrations, in-person conversations, and special works on display.

With just one stop, visitors can meet multiple artists, learn about their process, watch them work, and enjoy the full range of art represented at Desert Artisans—all in a single, easy, air-conditioned location.

This is one of our most popular weekends of the year, and a wonderful way to discover new artists, ask questions, and see art being made in real time.
