Launched in 1998 by Portland painter Kitty Wallis, Portland Open Studios is a citywide event that takes place in the personal studios of painters, photographers, printmakers, jewelry designers and other talented craftspeople. Attendees lead themselves on self-guided tours, visiting creative workspaces ranging from living rooms and converted sheds to shared industrial warehouses.

Experience art and visit nearly 100 artists in their studios over the second and third weekends of October, featuring studios across greater Portland, including Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties. It’s a great way to meet artists, collect art, watch art being made and learn about the artists in Portland. As part of Open Studios, artists are encouraged to facilitate interactive experiences for guests. Rather than simply viewing artwork, attendees can converse with the artists, ask questions and observe their creativity in action. For those interested in purchasing art, meeting the artists behind the work can give chosen pieces more meaning.
