Why Advertise in the SF Open Studios Guide?

ArtSpan's SF Open Studios Guide reaches thousands of people touring SF Open Studios during the Fall. SF Open Studios visitors are informed consumers who support Bay Area businesses, are committed to the arts in their community, and keep the Guide as a memento and a reference for San Francisco arts and culture. This year, ArtSpan is printing and distributing 15,000 copies of the Guide to artists, art world professionals, collectors, designers, and business-owners throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. ArtSpan also distributes Guides to key locations that support local art as businesses resume operations; these include coffee shops, hotels, museums and bookstores, as well as retail and tourist spots throughout the region. ArtSpan’s 2023 SF Open Studios Guide is a 100+ page, full-color, glossy magazine showcasing art and providing the contact information for over 300 Bay Area artists, as well as articles on San Francisco’s renowned art community.
