It's a beautiful time of year to see San Diego's backcountry while visiting 19 award-winning artists in 14 private studios located throughout Ramona! Come be inspired.
The tour will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday April 14 and 15.
If you've ever wondered what an artist’s studio really looks like, now is your chance to see for yourself. Artists around Ramona have been invited to open their studios to curious visitors. Come meet these artists, discuss their work and process and add to your art collection if you're interested. The tour will feature a variety of art including fused glass, painting, sculpture, art quilts, jewelry, ceramics, woodwork and metalwork.
The goal of this 9th annual art event is to broaden the awareness and appreciation of the artistic talent of local artists by giving residents and visitors alike a unique exposure to Ramona’s creative and diversified art community. Open Studios tour creates connections, fosters relationships, and helps builds community appreciation of the arts. Sponsored by the Ramona Chamber of Commerce, proceeds from ticket sales will help fund community events.
