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.
The Astoria Open Studios Tour is presented by Astoria Visual Arts with support from the City of Astoria’s Arts & Culture Fund and AVA members.

FOR VISITORS - HOW TO GO ON THE TOUR: 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—meaning 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 many emerging talents. 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.
