The Astoria Open Studios Tour is designed to support and promote Astoria artists, encourage tourism and enrich our community. Professional and emerging artists are featured and all ages can enjoy this free, public event. Visitors get to meet the makers and see a close-up view of their techniques and media. Artists get to connect with patrons, network with visitors, and expand their audience. Artists retain 100% of sales made from their studios. Participating artists are also invited to submit work to be included in a group exhibit at the Astoria Visual Arts Gallery during the month of July.

Astoria Visual Arts publishes a free, full-color tour guide booklet featuring all participating artists and widely publicizes the event with support from the City of Astoria’s Arts & Culture Promote Tourism Program. The booklet will be online in July.
