Open Artists Studios April 21 & 22

Open Artists Studios
Saturday April 21st & Sunday April 22nd
Noon until 5pm
www.openstudioartists.org

Spring is the perfect time to enjoy art, and OPEN STUDIOS is a great way to meet the artists in their own spaces. Perfect for bicycling or walking, the OPEN STUDIOS event allows you to visit multiple artists on a lovely spring weekend, Saturday and Sunday April 21 and 22, from noon until 5pm.

Using our easy to follow map, you can enjoy meeting painters, photographers, mosaic artists, fiber artists, jewelers, sculptors, book artists, ceramicists and more in the Bywater, Marigny, lower French Quarter and Esplanade Ridge. More than 25 artists will have work available for appreciation and purchase.

“The Open Studios continue to attract fine artists who live and work in some of our oldest neighbor-hoods,” said Zé daLuz, participant and organizer. “It’s exciting to meet and talk with people about art on a one-to-one basis. This unique event allows an enjoyable exposure to artists in a casual setting.”

Admission is free and the public is welcome. Maps are available on our website as well as at neighborhood businesses on the weekend of the event.
