WHAT IS THE AUSTIN STUDIO TOUR?
It’s a free citywide event that invites the public into working artists’ studios, galleries and creative spaces.
It’s a wonderful way for the community to come together, support one another and show the creative spirit that makes Austin special. The 2026 Tour will take place over two weekends in November:
Weekend 1: Sat & Sun, November 14–15, 2026
Weekend 2: Sat & Sun, November 21–22, 2026
Hours: 11am–5pm daily
Attendees can browse profiles online and in our printed Guidebook to find unique locations to visit, purchase art, learn about the creative process and meet Austin’s most talented artists.
For artists, the Austin Studio Tour is a chance to give people a behind the scenes look at their space and their process, building lasting support for contributions to Austin’s culture. All artists, musicians and creative organizations within Austin, Austin ETJ, West Lake Hills, Rollingwood and Sunset Valley are encouraged to apply.
Apply by 11:59 pm on Mon, Aug 3rd.
