Point Reyes Artists Plan 12th Annual Memorial Day Weekend Open Studios Tour


Point Reyes Open Studios (PROS) invites art lovers from around the Bay Area to tour the studios of nineteen West Marin artists Memorial Day weekend, May 24, 25 and 26. Artists will be showing their work in their studios and homes from Saturday the 24th through Monday the 26th, 11 AM to 5 PM each day.

The Point Reyes Open Studios tour is a wonderful way to see the back roads and local color of an area whose hiking trails, beaches, restaurants and inns are a popular destination for weekend visitors.

Among the artists opening their work spaces to the public are some of the Point Reyes-Inverness area's finest sculptors, photographers, potters, painters, printmakers and woodworkers. Visitors will be able to meet the artists and see new original work, as well as explore the studios and workshops in which the art is created. Several artists plan demonstrations of their complex craft techniques, and at least one studio will allow visitors to pull their own keepsake prints.

The free, self-guided tour of Point Reyes Open Studios gives visitors an opportunity to explore the forested lanes of Inverness Ridge and the rolling grasslands around Tomales Bay, whose natural beauty inspires the work of many artists. Visitors can pick up a free brochure/map at Toby's Feed Barn, The Station House Café and many other local shops and inns. The tour's street signs make artists' studios easy to find.
