Open Studios Monterey County

About:
The Arts Council for Monterey County (Arts4MC) is dedicated to enriching the lives of our community through the arts. We do this by providing arts education programs in schools and community organizations, offering business resources for artists and nonprofits, creating studio and public art spaces for local artists, awarding scholarships,
and providing grant funding for community programs and events related to arts and culture.

Arts4MC is thrilled to present the Open Studios Art Tour (OSAT), where you can explore the creative spaces of local artists. This self-guided tour lets you meet artists, view their work, and get a behind-the-scenes look at their creative processes.

Featuring a curated selection of works from participating OSAT artists, the exhibit invites visitors to engage with the art before, during, and after the tour.
This year, we’re excited to offer an even deeper experience with a special exhibition at the Walter Lee Avery Gallery in Seaside, on view from September 8th through November 6th. Featuring a curated selection of works from participating OSAT artists, the exhibit invites visitors to engage with the art before, during, and after the tour.
