Open Studios Day Spring 2025
Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) presents our Spring 2025 Open Studios Day, April 26th! Over 50 local artists will open their doors to the public for a peek into their art practice.
Open Studios Day is a free, all-ages event that provides the public a glimpse into the process, art, and lives of local artists who create at the Center. AGCC hosts one of the largest studio artist programs in the region with a diverse range of artistic disciplines including ceramics, photography, printmaking, writing, sculpture, videography, music, and painting. This self-guided tour of artist studios provides a unique opportunity to interact with the artists and purchase contemporary works of art.
Live Community Class demonstrations will take place throughout the day. Stop by G classroom for a Glass bead making demonstration with Steve Bay, 1-3pm. A Raku Ceramics demonstration with AGCC Studio Artists Delora Bertsch and Perry Okimoto will be held in the kiln yard at 3:30pm.
