Are you an artist in the San Francisco Bay Area? Have you registered for Silicon Valley Open Studios (SVOS) this May? The organization’s 25th anniversary is coming up, and it’s going to be BIG. You will definitely want to be a part of it. If you know any artists in the area, would you make sure they know about and register for the event? Registration closes January 15, so don’t wait to sign up!
SVOS is an annual event that allows the public to visit Peninsula and South Bay Art Studios for free. During the first three weekends in May, over 300 Silicon Valley artists invite members of the community to experience a wide variety of different artistic media in their studios.
New this year, SVOS will expand their Open Studios for Schools program by hosting students at some of the open studios. This will give art students a chance to get to form relationships with professional artists and see how working artists prepare their studios, as well as display and sell their work.
Over the past 25 years, SVOS has provided an opportunity for the general public, art enthusiasts, art collectors and investors, educators and art students to spend some time in the comfortable setting of artists’ studios, providing an opportunity to discuss the artist’s attitudes and motivations.
Participating artists, including professionals, amateurs and students, work in a variety of fields, such as painting, mixed media, photography, sculpture, jewelry, calligraphy, ceramics, fiber arts, pottery, mosaics, metal work, glass, drawing, printmaking, watercolor, woodworking and more.
