2022 Open Studio Tour

The Tubac Center of the Arts Open Studio Tour is a marketing opportunity for serious professionals and a supportive environment to nurture and present new and emerging artists. The tour takes place March 11, 12, & 13, 2022 from 10:00 am-4pm and extends from Nogales in the south to Sahuarita in the north along the I-19 corridor. Artist studios must be located between Sahuarita, Arizona and Nogales, Arizona, along the I-19 corridor. Artists are encouraged to partner with other artists if possible to encourage more visitor traffic.

Participation includes tour participation, catalog listing, and all advertising and promotions of the event, as well as participation in the Open Studio Tour Artists Preview Exhibit with Opening Reception (February 25 - April 3, 2022). Tour artists may contribute one piece to the exhibition. The entry fee is $90 for TCA artist members and $125 for non-members. All work in the preview exhibit must be for sale; TCA retains a 40% commission. Artwork must be received by February 21, 2022, and may be picked up April 4, 2022.

Artists may optionally submit an image for consideration for the Open Studio Tour poster art contest for an additional $20 entry fee. The winning poster artist receives free entry fees for the following year's OST, as well as advertising and promotion of their image in print and electronic marketing. The original artwork of the winning poster image must be available for exhibition during the OST Preview Exhibit, must be for sale, and is subject to exhibit terms.
