North Coast Open Studios is an annual showcase of local artists and their art in Humboldt County. See artists who are opening their studios (their “natural habitats,” if you will) to the public, allowing art lovers a glimpse into the creative process.

Weekend 1 is June 1-2 and Weekend 2 is June 8-9. Studios are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, unless otherwise noted. Some studios are also open on North Coast Open Studios Art Night, Friday, May 31, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Visitors to North Coast Open Studios will have an opportunity to see what happens inside an artist’s creative space. Meet the artists and see work from a wide array of art styles, including painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, glass, fiber, jewelry, ceramics, and more. During this free showcase for the arts, visit mid-career and emerging artists in traditional and non-traditional spaces. Talk to artists about their creative process, see their recent works, and purchase art.

North Coast Open Studios is a free event, so there is no admission charged at any venue.
