Durango is a place that celebrates and prides itself in creative arts, cultural traditions and practices, historical recognition, and expressive exploration. Durango is celebrating the contributions of visual artists by showcasing artists and their work in the Durango Open Studio Tour. Emerging and professional artists are invited to open their doors' to allow visitors to explore, discover and connect.

This self-guided tour of local artist studios is an opportunity for you to give potential buyers, galleries, and art lovers an opportunity to connect with you on a different level. You can give participants a behind the scenes view of your creative process, and in a way, let others be a part of your process. The tour is free for art patrons to tour studios.

Join us alongside our supportive community organizations in celebrating the contributions artists are making in creating a more beautiful Durango. Artists offering a wide array of fine arts — from paintings, wearable art, photography, ceramics, glass, woodworking, jewelry, sculpture, metalwork, and mixed media are encouraged to be a part of this tour.

Also, please help us create a studio tour that is diverse, inclusive, equitable, and accessible by helping us spread the word to all emerging and professional working artists.
