Open to all artists with studios or living in any of the New York City 5 boroughs.

More information about NYC Citywide Open Studios:

Every weekend this October, hundreds of artists in a different borough each weekend will open their studios to the public, from 11am to 6pm, Saturdays and Sundays.

Event Schedule
October 2005 11AM - 6PM Saturdays + Sundays. One borough each weekend:

Who Can Participate
Open to all artists with studios in any of the 5 boroughs (you may choose to use your home if you do not have a separate studio).

As a participating artist you will open your studio to the public Saturday and Sunday, 11am to 6pm, during the one weekend your borough is scheduled.

Example: If your studio address (or home address) is in Queens you will open your studio October 8th and 9th from 11am to 6pm. The other weekends we hope you will enjoy visiting artists' studios in the other boroughs and consider volunteering.

Collectors, curators, art dealers, critics and other art enthusiasts will be exposed to your artwork long after the event is over. Your contact information is included so that you can be reached by interested persons. You receive a copy of the DVD for your portfolio.
Up to 5 images of your artwork to be included on the official website. The event website will allow visitors to search by many variables (medium, location, style, etc.) and print studio tour maps.
