About Santa Fe Art Colony Open Studios

Once a year, the artists of the Santa Fe Art Colony open their private live/work studios to the general public. The SFAC is located in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District.

This May marks the 21st year of the Santa Fe Art Colony Studio Walk-Through. A wide range of styles and mediums will be on view, with over 40 artists, ranging from established to emerging, presenting their work. The complex, comprised of three buildings, houses a vibrant community of creative individuals who have local, national, and international reputations. Art will be available for purchase.

Resident artists will be exclusively featured in this year’s event and will be present to answer questions about their work and practice. Visitors will gain a rare glimpse into the SFAC as a functioning artist-in-residence community. The compact layout of the complex hosts 57 studios, which open onto a community garden courtyard, where drinks and food will be available for purchase.

Throughout the years, organizations such as the Fellows of Contemporary Art, the MOCA Education Program, the LACMA Modern & Contemporary Art Council, and countless other educational groups have visited the studios at SFAC via private appointment.  The annual SFAC Studio Walk-Through event is the only time these incredible studios are open to the general public. We welcome you to visit and discover one of Los Angeles' most established artist communities.
