Celebrating Art, Nature, and Community in Topanga Canyon
Open Studios of Topanga, October 7 & 8 — Step into a world where creativity blooms amidst the lush beauty of nature. The much-anticipated “Open Studios of Topanga” event returns for two Inspiring days, paying homage to the thriving artist community that calls Topanga Canyon home. This event not only celebrates the existing artistic talent of those who have participated in the past, but also extends a warm welcome to new and emerging artists eager to share their creations, their process and their creative spaces.
Nestled under the oaks and imbued with the charm of natural splendor, Topanga Canyon boasts a distinctive artistic community along with a rich history of artists and musicians who were all drawn to the creative, inventive spirit that pulses through these canyon walls.
What is the tour like?
For years, the tour has seamlessly woven art and architecture, inviting participants to explore a curated selection of artists’ studios. Artists in the canyon will be opening their homes or studios to the public to connect with the art and the process behind it. With the purchase of a ticket, attendees will gain access to a map of the studios participating, allowing them two days to guide themselves through the winding roads to the front steps of the artists studios. Each studio is a world of its own, reflecting the unique essence of the artist behind it.
Choose between a printed map for those seeking a tactile experience or a digital map for tech-savvy attendees. Check-in and ticket sales in person will be available at Pine Tree Circle.
This event is a chance to deepen the sense of community by supporting local creatives and hosts. It’s an opportunity to forge connections, kindling new friendships against the backdrop of breathtaking artistry.
