Hello! I wanted to share more information on the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours here :)
Philadelphia Open Studio Tours (POST) allows everyone to take a sneak peek inside some of the city’s most creative spaces.
For two weekends every October, artists around the city open their studios to curious visitors, inviting them to talk, check out how they work and purchase artwork. This year’s tours take place October 14 & 15 and October 21 & 22, 2023.
Studios and creative spaces East of Broad Street are open 12-6pm on October 14 & 15; Studios and creative spaces West of Broad Street are open 12-6pm on October 21 & 22.
With more than 200 artists participating, there’s a huge range of arts and crafts to take in, from painting and photography to textile art, ceramics, light sculpture and more. A behind-the-scenes look into a day in the life of an artist, POST is an approachable and easy-to-navigate, self-guided experience, taking place over two weekends. Each day offers the public an opportunity to explore creative spaces (free-of-charge) in a unique portion of the city. Participating studios and spaces will be open from NOON to 6PM on assigned tour days. Ancillary POST activities include: studio visits, hands-on demonstrations, artist talks, preview events, featured exhibitions and more. No other open studio event in the area provides such a rich and diverse cultural experience for the public.
