OPEN STUDIO WEEKENDS IN OCTOBER
OVER 30 STUDIOS are open each year on two peak fall foliage weekends! The next weekends will be in October 10, 11 and 18, 19 2026.
This is a great time to travel the beautiful roads of upstate NY with artist studios as your destinations.
There’s no fee and no appointments, just go! You gather your friends and family, have great conversations with the artists, see what they’ve been up to, learn about their process and purchase great art! (image: Jen Meyers – Perfect Mug Pottery)
Note that many artists are open year-round by appointment so you don’t have to wait until October!
In early September we’ll have the list and map here showing who is open.
