ASTORIA OPEN STUDIOS TOUR
July 25 - 26, 2026
Join us in celebrating Astoria’s vibrant creative community during the 16th annual Astoria Open Studios Tour, July 25 and 26 from 11:00am to 5:00pm. Over 50 local artists will open their studios to the public, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at where and how they work. Visitors are invited to explore studios throughout Astoria at their own pace, meeting artists, learning about their inspiration and techniques, and seeing their latest work.
This free, family-friendly event highlights the depth and diversity of Astoria’s thriving art scene. Printed tour guides with artist listings and a studio map will be available at galleries, cafes, and shops across town ahead of the tour, and a digital version will be available here in July.
FOR ARTISTS: If you have a studio in or around Astoria (within zip code 97103), you are invited to participate in the Astoria Open Studios Tour! Professional and emerging artists are equally welcome. The cost to participate is $50 per artist or $30 for AVA members. The registration deadline is May 1st.
The number of participating artists that receive individual promotion is limited to 50, based on a first-come, first-serve basis, so please sign up early to ensure you get a spot. To learn more please email astoriastudiostour@gmail.com.
FOR VISITORS: Astoria Open Studios Tour is your very own self-guided adventure! You choose your route and which studios you would like to visit. Each studio is labeled with a number that corresponds with the map (available in early July). Many studios also have arrows to help guide visitors to their doors. Studios offering demonstrations are noted in the guide as well as studios that are accessible for individuals with limited mobility—there are no stairs to navigate to get to the artists’ workspace. Many artists will be sharing works-in-progress, offering demonstrations, or showcasing pieces not typically exhibited in galleries.
Each year the tour features Astoria’s beloved, established artists and some that recently moved to the area. Open Studios is a great way to meet your creative neighbors all while enjoying all the sights that this beloved charming town has to offer.
The Astoria Open Studios Tour is presented by Astoria Visual Arts with support from the City of Astoria’s Arts & Culture Promote Tourism Funding and AVA members.
