ArtSpan invites you to the 50th annual production of San Francisco Open Studios from September 19 through October 13, 2024.
For the past five decades, ArtSpan’s SF Open Studios (SFOS) has invited the public to visit the creative spaces of local artists to see where their magic happens and to purchase work directly from creators. The accompanying SFOS Exhibition provides a preview of premier SFOS artists who will be hosting open studio events during the season.
The expansive SFOS Exhibition presents hundreds of works in diverse mediums, celebrating the abundant creativity of the region. Browse the variety of pieces and plan your weekend studio visits! Each exhibited piece is labeled with information to help guide your visits and to connect further with the artists behind the works that catch your eye.
Immerse yourself in the creativity of the SF Bay Area, and purchase pieces knowing your patronage directly supports the region’s art ecosystem!

About ArtSpan
ArtSpan evolved from SF Open Studios, begun in 1975 by a small group of enterprising artists who concurrently opened their studios to the public annually over one weekend to increase the accessibility of their work. Following the devastation of the 1989 earthquake, these artists created a strong organization to ensure SFOS would remain a San Francisco tradition, and in 1991, ArtSpan received its nonprofit, tax-exempt status. SFOS has grown exponentially; now spanning multiple weeks with over 800 participating artists and 100,000+ visitors.
ArtSpan continues to build a more resilient creative future with year-round artist-supporting programs advancing the creative careers of hundreds.
ArtSpan’s 50-year history is rooted in supporting artists through unprecedented times; from earthquakes to astronomical real estate surges, and variables beyond our control, we continue to adapt to serve our local creative community.
