Some of the finest visual artists in Boulder will open their studios to the public for the thirteenth year of Open Studios this fall. During the first two weekends of October, this self-guided art tour showcases more than 100 local artists, including sculptors, painters, photographers and more, who open their private studios to the public. This year, three Pine Brook Hills artists are participating: Caren Paul, Ellen MacLaren Caukin and Jean Watson. 

More than 4,000 people are expected to make more than 65,000 studio visits this year. Visitors are encouraged to question the artists about particular aspects of their work and their artistic process. The artists also display completed works, which may be purchased.

A full color, calendar-style Guidebook with a studio map will be for sale at several Front Range locations for $16. Purchase is NOT required to participate in the tour, which is free and open to the public, but makes the tour easier and helps support Open Studios, a not-for-profit organization. 

During the two weekends, bright yellow Open Studios signs will be planted on many Boulder roads, directing visitors to the various studios. Each sign includes a studio number and arrows, so you can easily find particular artists. An exhibit of each participating artist’s work will also be hanging in the Canyon Gallery of the Boulder Public Library from September 14 through October 14. 

WHEN:

                   Noon – 6:00 p.m.

               October 6-7; October 13-14

 In addition, there will be a free Artists’ Reception for the public at the Library on October 5, from 7 pm to 9 pm. 

For more information, contact the artists or visit www.OpenStudios.org.
