The Astoria Open Studios Tour is a free, self-guided event, July 25th and 26th, that offers a rare opportunity to step inside the creative spaces of some of the region’s most talented artists. Now in its 16th year, the tour celebrates the vibrant artistic community that makes Astoria a cultural destination on the Oregon Coast. Visitors are invited to explore working studios throughout Astoria and the surrounding area, meeting artists and learning about their creative processes. Set in the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, the tour provides a unique way to experience Astoria’s rich history, distinctive architecture, and thriving arts scene. Visitors create their own route, travel at their own pace, and get behind-the-scenes access to where art is made while connecting with the artists who call Astoria home.
