Why Advertise in the SF Open Studios Guide?

Advertising in the 42nd annual SF Open Studios Guide is one of the most effective ways to reach the thousands of people touring SF Open Studios during October and November. Distributed around the Bay Area, the Guide functions as a year-round resource that serves art collectors, art dealers, restaurant owners, interior designers, and other art enthusiasts who want to contact artists directly. The 200-page, full-color, glossy magazine includes artwork and contact information for over 500 SF artists, as well as articles on San Francisco’s renowned art community.
