Art Keeps Flowing

Welcome to the South Coast Artists 21st Annual Studio Tour!

Our regional Open Studio Tours are set for July 20-21 and August 17-18, and this year we’ve encouraged artists to consider the theme “The Essence of Water”, as they prepare for your visit. There are 75 artists waiting to show you what they’ve created!

As the newly-elected president of SCA, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our art-rich region along the South Coast. The relationships created here are inspiring and the studios you are about to discover make this an unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime.

The Tour, as always, is a free event designed for the entire family. Studio visits encourage an open dialogue between you and the artist within their personal creative space. Connections are the key to developing a meaningful relationships with art, the artists and the creative process. So, don’t be shy. Be curious and ask questions.

Remember that every studio and gallery is a unique experience. Consider planning a route that takes full advantage of your particular interests. To sketch out your adventure, please consider the SCA mobile app – South Coast Artists. If you don’t already have it, it’s easily downloaded on your smartphone or tablet.
