Julian Arts Guild's - Open Studio Arts Tour

Art event in Julian, CA. Tour artist studios in the historic backcountry of San Diego.

Each year Julian artists open their doors to visitors on the Open Studios Art Tour. This year a dozen painters, photographers, sculptors, and jewelry designers have put out bright yellow signs to guide you to their workplaces. Tucked back into valleys and overlooking superb vistas, these studios are a visual delight, inside and out.

Event wristbands are $10 per person, or $10 per carload. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday. Bring a carload of friends and explore inspired art in San Diego’s beautiful mountain backcountry!

To purchase event wristbands in advance, go to http://www.brownpapertickets.c... This online voucher will save you time on Saturday or Sunday. You may go directly to any studio on the tour with your voucher and redeem it for an event wristband. Additional wristbands may be purchased near the front porch of Julian’s Town Hall (corner of Main St. and Washington St) on Saturday or Sunday. Brochures with the tour map are available at Julian's Town Hall and online at www.JulianArtsGuild.org

Visitors are welcome to drive into the event at any point since the artists will be able to offer wristbands for vouchers purchased online. Besides at Town Hall, Artist Directory and Tour Maps will be at the studios as well. Not only will guests get to see the wonderful scenery but they will also get to visit historic places and meet the artists who have used the region as inspiration. It is a different opportunity from other tours since many artists are opening their mountain homes to visitors, letting them in to see how they create their artwork. It’s a more personal way of viewing art and meeting local artists. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday. Bring a carload of friends for just $10 and explore inspired art in San Diego’s beautiful mountain backcountry!
