About East Bay Open Studios

SEE REAL ART this Jun 6-7 and 13 - 14 at East Bay Open Studios (EBOS). Hosted by Oakland Art Murmur, East Bay Open Studios is a two-weekend event that invites the public to experience art where it happens—inside artist studios, galleries, cultural hubs, and unexpected spaces. Since its inception, EBOS has been a free, family-friendly, self-guided tour showcasing the diverse creative talent of the East Bay (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties).

Established in 1974, originally administered and funded by the Alameda County Neighborhood Arts Program (which then evolved to become ProArts), East Bay Open Studios (EBOS) was one of the first of such programs in the country. Since its beginnings, East Bay Open Studios has presented an annual, free and family-friendly, self-guided tour of artist studios and exhibition spaces throughout the East Bay (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties).
