Open Studios Day is a free, all-ages event that provides the public a glimpse into the process, art, and lives of local artists who create at Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC). AGCC hosts one of the largest studio artist programs in the region with a diverse range of artistic disciplines including ceramics, photography, printmaking, writing, sculpture, videography, music, and painting. This self-guided tour of artist studios and AGCC's campus provides a unique opportunity to interact with the artists and purchase contemporary works of art.
