About this Event

Welcome to the Opening Party for this summer's East Bay Open Studios! Join us on Saturday, May 30th from 11am - 5 pm at The Orchard Gallery for a FREE day of beautiful art, music, and loving community.

We’re celebrating East Bay artists! The centerpiece of the party will be our Community Exhibition, featuring a mix of artwork by participating East Bay Open Studios artists. Come mingle with talented creatives from your community, preview their beautiful creations, and make a plan to see more of their work at East Bay Open Studios June 6-7 and June 13 - 14. (And get a head start on adding to your collection at this special preview!)

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 multi-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).


Each year, EBOS connects hundreds of artists with thousands of visitors across 12 cities, offering an immersive look into the work of painters, sculptors, ceramicists, glass and metal artists, fiber artists, and multimedia creators. More than an art event, EBOS sustains visual culture, fosters creative placemaking, and deepens appreciation for the region’s rich artistic communities.
