The New East Bay Open Studios at FLAX art & design!
The Annual East Bay Open Studios Event has been an ongoing tradition in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 40 years with a mission to connect artists with art-collectors and art-lovers and offer a unique opportunity for both to experience one-on-one interactions with one another.
Open Studios are free self-guided tours of artist studios and exhibition spaces throughout the East Bay (Alameda County and Contra Costa County). Art venues can range from gallery settings, art studios, home studios, outdoor venues and other alternative exhibition spaces. FLAX is hosting seven artists throughout the weekends of June 2nd and 3rd, and June 9th and 10th.
