Creativity is everywhere in Oakmont-behind front doors, tucked into spare bedrooms, flourishing in garages, and filling studios with paint, fabric, clay, glass, wood, photography, jewelry and more. This November, the Oakmont Art Association is inviting our community to discover where all that creativity happens when Open Studios returns November 21 and 22, 2026.
Registration is still open for Oakmont artists who would like to participate in this popular event, returning after a multi-year hiatus.
Open Studios offers artists working in all media an opportunity to welcome friends, neighbors and visitors into their creative spaces. Whether that space is a dedicated studio, a converted garage, a sewing room, a workshop or simply the kitchen table where inspiration strikes, it is a chance to share not only finished artwork but also the ideas, tools and techniques behind it.
For visitors, Open Studios is more than an art sale. It is an opportunity to meet the people behind the work, hear their stories, see where they create and perhaps discover a one-of-a-kind treasure to take home.
Past Oakmont Open Studios events have featured an impressive variety of painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramicists, jewelers, glass artists, fiber artists, woodworkers and other talented makers. This year promises another wonderful showcase of the creativity thriving right here in our community.
Open Studios will be held Saturday, November 21, and Sunday, November 22, at multiple locations throughout Oakmont.
Still wondering whether your work-or your workspace-is "studio worthy"? Don't let that stop you! Open Studios is about sharing creativity, not having the perfect studio.
For registration information and applications, contact Open Studios Coordinator Esther Munger at esmunger@gmail.com, or speak with an Oakmont Art Association board member.
Open the door. Share what you create. Meet your neighbors. Be part of Open Studios 2026!
