To Artists:
The Durango Studio Tour Call For Artists!
Hello Artists,
We are super excited to announce the 2026 Durango Open Studio Tour!
Durango is a place that celebrates and prides itself in creative arts, cultural traditions and practices, historical recognition, and expressive exploration. Durango is celebrating the contributions of visual artists by showcasing artists and their work in the Durango Open Studios Tour. October 17-18, 2026, emerging and professional artists are invited to open their doors to allow visitors to explore, discover and connect. The Tour Opening Art Exhibition is October 2 from 5-7pm at Durango Creative District on 1135 Main Ave.
This free self-guided tour of local artist studios is an opportunity for you to give potential buyers, galleries, and art lovers an opportunity to connect with you on a different level. You can give participants a behind the scenes view of your creative process, and in a way, let others be a part of your process.
Join us alongside our supportive community organizations in celebrating the contributions artists are making in creating a more beautiful Durango. Artists offering a wide array of fine arts — from paintings, wearable art, photography, ceramics, woodworking, jewelry, mosaics, furniture, metalwork, and mixed media are encouraged to be a part of this tour. Deadline for artists to register is August 21, 2026.
Also, please help us create a studio tour that is diverse, inclusive, equitable, and accessible by helping us spread the word to all emerging & professional working artists.
