Welcome to Santa Cruz County Open Studios Art Tour! Every year over the first three weekends in October, visitors can discover new artists, experience the creative process firsthand, and connect directly with the people and places behind the work. Step inside a working studio, hear the stories behind the work, watch an idea and material take shape. Perhaps find an original piece or two to purchase directly from the studio. Everyone is welcome to attend this free event. From Watsonville to the North Coast, downtown Santa Cruz to the mountains, every stop offers something new. South County October 3 & 4 โ€ข 11am-5pm North County October 10 & 11 โ€ข 11am-5pm All County October 17 & 18 โ€ข 11am-5pm
