Our Events
Cedars Open Studios Tour
For over twenty years, Cedars Neighborhood Artists have opened their doors to the public to showcase their talent, creativity, and vibrant lives. This free event draws thousands of visitors from all walks of life to experience the neighborhood studios, see and participate in live demos, and meet the many talented artists of the Cedars.
During this one-day-only event visit the Cedars Artists in their homes, studios, collective art spaces, and select participating neighborhood venues - all as independently unique as the individual artwork created within. Whether it's ceramics, photography, painting, sculpture, or live performance you seek, you won’t want to miss a single one!
The Cedars Open Studios Tour started in 2002 at Tin Ranch Studios by a collective of creatives, and now showcases over 100 artists at various locations across the Cedars neighborhood.
Cedars Sessions
Cedars Sessions is an ongoing art talk series that fosters a deeper understanding of the work and creative process with Cedars Artists as they share insights into their artistry, inspirations, and life as a creative. Events are held throughout the year at various locations across the Cedars neighborhood.
