Open Studios Preview Show - Reception & Live Music (free)
Details
Come visit the preview exhibit for the annual Open Studios Art Tour, featuring artwork from 300+ local artists (I'm one of them)! This is a free event with live music and a reception.
This year's exhibit is larger than before, hosted by M.K. Contemporary Art in downtown Santa Cruz. All artwork will be for sale, ranging across diverse media: paintings, photography, jewelry, textiles, woodwork, etc. etc. This exhibit is a great way to find artists that intrigue you and note which studios you want to visit during the October studio tours.
We will meet at the entrance to the gallery at 2:30 pm. If you're running late, please join us inside. The opening reception starts at 3 pm. Besides snacks, there will be wine for sale and live music by Rhan Wilson/ Jazz The Dog. Looking forward to enjoying some local art with you!
Address: M.K. Contemporary Art gallery, 703 Front Street, Santa Cruz CA (across from Trader Joe's)
