Experience seeing and meeting artists at work in their studios, see their creative process, engage in conversation and live demonstrations. This family friendly event is sure to impress and inspire you! ALWAYS FREE. Refreshments served.

At least 15 open artist studios.

Our musician: Alex Makeev, local high schooler (rising Senior, Carlmont), pianist. Alex offers a blend of traditional jazz standards and contemporary jazz compositions, as well as his own twists on pop, rock, and indie tunes - some more recognizable, and some less widespread.

In Studio 208: Noon–4pm Stop by to meet our artist mentees from Sequoia High School who will be leading a drop-in artmaking workshop with artist Yucali Seki.

In Studio 215 lobby area: 2–2:30pm Art Bis studio artist Kent Manske will briefly describe the process of making hand-pulled prints including screenprining, etching & intaglio, relief, lithography, collagraph, and monoprints. He will bring the printing plates and tools used to make specific prints.

In Studio 213: Bring your leftover bottle caps for a Community Mural project that aims to keep the plastic problem at the forefront of people's minds and encourage recycling, by artist Amber J. Smith.

In Studio 114: HIP Housing exhibit, featuring art from the contest's 20+ year history! Featured work by the most recent contest winners and several HIP Housing clients.

Used Art Book sales all afternoon.

Refreshments served all afternoon.

See you there!
