Additional info:
North Coast Open Studios is open to artists of all ages and media.
Artists are not required to have a dedicated studio space to participate -- some artists create at their kitchen table or in their garage!
The NCOS Art Show and Reception will open on Saturday, May 3rd, from 6-9pm during Arts Alive, then will run through the month of May at the Ink People's Brenda Tuxford Gallery (in the shared space of the Humboldt County Visitor's Bureau and Eureka Cultural Arts District, 422 1st Street, Old Town Eureka).
Participation in the May Art Show and NCOS Friday Art Night are both optional, but recommended as additional ways to attract more visitors to your studio.
Half-price ads are available to participating artists.
If the registration fee is a barrier to participation for new or up-and-coming artists, please contact Monica (contact@northcoastopenstudios.com) for information on subsidized/sponsored fees.
NEW THIS YEAR: Holly Hilgenberg of Society of Air will host three Saturday marketing workshops in April, open to registered NCOS artists for NO ADDITIONAL FEE. Let’s all improve our promotional skills!
Finally, please spread the word to your creative friends! If they want to participate in North Coast Open Studios, we want them to participate.
Looking forward to seeing y'all in June!
