About Sac Open Studios

Sac Open Studios is presented FREE to the public by Verge Center for the Arts. Verge’s largest public program, Sac Open Studios spotlights the diverse range of artists who fill our region with art and culture. The central piece of Sac Open Studios is a self-guided artist studio tour which spans all of Sacramento County, West Sacramento, Davis and Woodland and takes place annually during the middle two weekends of September. The tour attracts over 200 participating artists and around 30,000 attendees annually.

Sac Open Studios Artist Participation includes:

  • Inclusion in the in-person studio tour on Weekend 1 or Weekend 2, depending on your location. Traditionally, participating artists open their art studios to the  public during their assigned weekend. During Sac Open Studios, the term art studio takes many  forms. While many participating artists have traditional work spaces in studio facilities, many Sac  Open Studios artists open their home studios or utilize other spaces such as cafés, community  centers, garages or backyards to display their art during their assigned weekend. 
  • Full Color Artist Listing in the  2025 Sac Open Studios Guide.
  • Opportunity to list an Artist Demo in the Sac Open Studios Guide. An artist  demo is an educational artist demonstration presented at specific times during your assigned  weekend. The demonstration should include step by step instructions to complete an artistic  technique. 
  • Artist Profile in the online Sac Open Studios Artist Directory.

One visitor smiles at the camera while the other faces away from the camera, towards the artist who is seated by a blue table in the background. The studio is filled with the colorful, patterned works of art composed of fabric, thread, metal wire, and other materials in a variety of organic shapes and sizes. The artworks are mounted on the white studio walls as well as freestanding on the grey concrete floor.
