Do you have your map for @artspansf Open Studios? Yesterday I was able to visit with 16 artists, and yes, I have some beautiful new additions to my home. (None are pictured here, but behind me are many works I have acquired during past open studios!) Today my goal is to visit at least 11 artists.

Once again I’ll be traveling on foot and on Muni to visit artists throughout San Francisco. Follow my adventures here during the next five weeks! You can join me for a walking tour during weekend 5 as well.

Some of the more dimensional works from our Women’s 10xTen show earlier this year ✨

A few of these pieces are still available on our website, but most have already found their new homes. This exhibition was such a fun, powerful celebration of Bay Area women artists.

We’re now accepting applications for the 2026 edition of Women’s 10xTen — today only.
📝 It’s free to apply
🔗 Link in bio

If you’d like a sense of the range and energy of the show, both of our previous 10xTen exhibitions are archived on our website and well worth a look.
