October 2021 Tour is FREE this year!
For over 30 years, art collectors and visitors have reserved the 2nd weekend in October for the Ojai Studio Artists Tour. Why do they come back year after year? The answers vary, but they do have a few things in common: the quality of the art; the mountains that surround the Ojai Valley, the variety of artist studios/living spaces and gardens, and the aura that says “Ojai.” Call it Shangra-La, the “Pink Moment,” or the meditation spaces that dot the valley floor and mountains: the Ojai way of life attracts art lovers year after year.
The tour starts on Saturday, October 9 and continues on Sunday, October10 & Monday, October 11, 2021. The studios will be open from 10 am to 5 pm.
Nationally known artists such as Theodore T. Gall, Joseph Sohm, Sherry Saxe Loehr, Carol Shaw-Sutton and more have been featured in publications such as Southwest Art, The Artists Magazine, National Geographic, The New York Times and more. Their work is collected by President Clinton, McDonald’s Corporation, Standard Oil and Walt Disney Productions.
However, the studio tour features many artists that might not be on the national stage, but are nonetheless creative, talented and energetic. They are artistic innovators in their own right. All of the artists’ studios are an extension of their own personality. Whether they are intricate and methodical or exuberant and messy, there is something for everyone to see.
Since the tour is FREE this year, you can start visiting studios without having to wait in line! Even though the tour is free, you must register in advance to receive your map and information about our upcoming app that will guide you through the valley.
We are so glad to have you back and welcome you to our studios!
