Success at Open Studios

Artists! Be part of our Artist Professional Development series hosted by East Bay Open Art Studios and Oakland Art Murmur. Join us for an in-depth workshop on how to achieve success during East Bay Open Studios. Hosted by EBOS artist Jules Kobelin, this workshop is designed to help EBOS participants explore their own pathways to achieving their personal version of success. Together we will discuss goals and various approaches to making their open studio experience cost-effective, efficient, and rewarding. We will develop a customized checklist and by the end of this workshop, participants will have a clear roadmap for preparing, executing, and following up on their East Bay Open Studio experience. Participants are encouraged to bring supplies for taking notes. Light snacks will be provided. The space is ADA accessible. This workshop is part of Oakland Art Murmur and East Bay Open Studios Artist Professional Development series designed to provide tools and insights to help artists navigate the art world while also making community connections within the East Bay’s vibrant artist scene. SEE REAL LOCAL ART this December 5-6 and 12-13 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.
