Do your kids love art? Would you like to expose them to a multitude of art forms in a relaxed setting? This weekend, Orange County's Artists Guild's 15th annual open studio tour allows you to step into the studios of selected visual artists to meet them and view their work.

The Open Studio tour runs from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, and noon-5 p.m. Sunday and covers paintings, sculpture, pottery, wood working, jewelry, textiles, iron, glass and photography from 65 artists.

Don't try to see everything! Even the most heroic art lovers will not be able to visit all the studios open to the public, but tour maps will be available to guide you studios located all over Orange County. Use them to plan your own tour. 

The relaxed atmosphere provides an opportunity to get to know the artists and to see where they create their art. For art lovers, it's a chance to support and talk to the artists about their visions and techniques.  The tour is mainly sponsoredand organized by the Orange County Artist Guild.
