2025 Open Studios Tour
Back to the Studios!
At the end of July, 45 local artists and galleries will open their doors to the public. Meet the painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers and mixed media artists that live and work in Andes, Arkville, Bovina, Denver - Vega, Fleischmanns, Halcottsville, Margaretville, and Roxbury. The Open Studios Tour will continue to span three days: Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday was a successful addition to the Open Studios Tour starting in 2023. Artists found themselves putting the final touches on their studios while still being able to host visitors, sell work and demonstrate in real time all the work that goes into opening our studios. Watch the video documenting the 2024 Open Studios Tour.
In 2024, the event surged to feature 60 participating artists and galleries, boasting a total visit tally of 3,463 — well beyond our initial expectations, but also a stretch for our resources. While we are thrilled with this growth, we've learned that focusing on individual artist studios and allowing visitors the time to fully experience each one is key. In 2025, we plan to fine-tune the event, making it more efficient and impactful for both the artists and the community. So this year the Open Studios Tour will be limited to 45 artists.
Eligible past participating artists will be receiving an invite via email to fill out the Artist Application for the 2025 Open Studios Tour by March 1st. An Open Call will commence on March 22. Upon receipt of each Artist Application, the AMR Artist Team will review the application. Those artists fulfilling the requirements and making full and complete payment by April 30, 2025 will be included on the 2025 Open Studios Tour. There is a cap this year, so after the 45 artists/galleries have been reached on a first come, first serve basis, applications will no longer be accepted.
Eligibility requirements:
- You must live or work at least part-time in one of these towns: Andes, Arkville, Bovina, Denver - Vega, Fleischmanns, Halcottsville, Margaretville, and Roxbury or own a gallery, commercial or non-profit, located in one of these above towns, no exceptions can be made this year.

Commercial gallery registration fee is $165 and non-profit gallery fee is $115.
- This year we will not have the Creative Hub at the Galli Curci Theater, neither has the Halcottsville Hub been confirmed. If you are interested in participating in the 2025 Open Studios Tour and have an accessible studio in one of the 8 towns AMR represents, we greatly encourage you to open your studio, or share with a neighbor or friend.
