Ojai’s world-renowned art tour back this October with more than 60 studios open to public.

Always a highlight of the Southern California arts calendar, the Ojai Studio Artists (OSA) is back Oct 12-14 with a three-day “choose-your-own adventure” extravaganza sure to delight collectors, decorators and the merely curious.

More than 60 artists open their private spaces over the course of the long weekend in a tour that features paintings, sculptures, fiber arts, collage, jewelry, glass, prints, mixed media and all manner of artworks, all experienced in a variety of intimate and idiosyncratic spaces by members of a community-based nonprofit devoted to celebrating Ojai arts.

Ticket holders get a program and map of participating studios, from back yard wonderlands within walking distance of the town arcade to stone cabins nestled up Sulphur Mountain. Tickets are $20, giving visitors access to all studios over the three-day weekend (and supporting art scholarship programs for Nordhoff High art students).

“This is a rare opportunity to experience treasures of Ojai,” says OSA President and printmaker Linda Taylor. “Seeing such a dynamic range of art in such unique and interesting places - there’s really nothing like it.”

The Ojai Valley Museum hosts an opening reception on Aug 16 from 5-7 pm, offering visitors a chance to mingle with participating artists and plan their journey over the three-day weekend. Work by all participating artists is featured in the Museum’s show, “Inside/Outside/Flip Side.”
