Open Studio Tour artists may also submit an image for consideration for the Open Studio Tour poster art contest. Application Deadline: December 8, 2021.

Please note: 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. Please consider any current COVID-19 recommendations when setting up your studio and welcoming visitors.

OST Artists Exhibit Image:

All Tour artists may contribute a piece to the Open Studio exhibit. The image and inventory for the Artists Exhibit is not part of the CaFE™ application. The image you enter for CaFE™ application should be the image you would like to use in the Open Studio Tour guide. 

The OST Artists Exhibition is a separate benefit to artists participating in the studio tour.  It is an OPTIONAL exhibition with no additional fees. The exhibition not only entices visitors to your studio but allows the opportunity to preview and sell your work. 

OST Artists Exhibit: 

Artists participating in the tour will be invited to exhibit one piece of art in the Open Studio Tour exhibition from February 25 to April 4, 2021. Studio Tour artists will be contacted with further details. All artwork for the exhibition must be received by February 21, 2021.  Poster Image: (Optional) Apply during online CaFE™ application. 

If artwork sells during the exhibition, it may be taken by the customer and new work can be made available by the artist. Tour artists will have the opportunity to replace the sold piece with like-sized artwork. Other than sales, art may not be removed from the exhibit prior to the close of the exhibition on Sunday, April 3, 2022.

OST Artists EXHIBIT:  February 25 – April 3, 2022

Sales:

All work in the preview exhibit must be for sale. TCA will retain a 40% commission. 

Price work accordingly.  

Images:
Artists agree to release the use of images of accepted works to TCA only as a permanent record of the exhibition and only for promotional use relating to the exhibition and the art center.

Catalog Image - VERY IMPORTANT

The image you enter into CaFE will be used for the Open Studio Tour catalog. When applying to the Open Studio Tour, please use the image that you want to be included in the OST catalog.
