SPRING OPEN STUDIO at HUNTERS POINT SHIPYARD
Visit The Largest Artist Community in the Nation!

The artists of Hunters Point Shipyard, the largest and most dynamic artist community in the nation, are opening their doors to the public once again. Gain a new appreciation for the arts, meet artists personally, buy art at great prices, and come away energized and refreshed by your encounter with this unique and continually evolving artist community.

Nestled along a private stretch of the scenic San Francisco Bay, the dramatic historic setting of this Open Studio is a former naval shipyard. With over 250 studios spread out across 8 buildings, the reclaimed and rededicated former barracks, warehouses, dining halls, and administration buildings are now ideal incubators for the artists who have called this place home for more than two decades. During the legendary annual super-sized Spring Open Studio, the public has the opportunity to visit over 150 artists in their studios, make personal contact with established and emerging artists and hear the processes behind their work, glimpse into the heart of creativity, and obtain art at moderate prices before it ends up in the galleries! There are choices here to match everyone's taste and budget, as the art on offer covers painting, sculpture, printmaking, graphics, mixed media, crafts, jewelry, ceramics, photography and new media.

A Family-Friendly event, it also features inviting outdoors areas and on-site food vendors, enabling visitors to spend all day perusing this unique arts destination.
