Why Advertise in the SF Open Studios Guide?

Advertising in the 40th Anniversary SF Open Studios Guide is one of the most effective ways to reach the thousands of people touring SF Open Studios during October and November. Distributed around the Bay Area, the Guide functions as a year-round resource that serves art collectors, art dealers, restaurant owners, interior designers, and other art enthusiasts who want to contact artists directly. The 170-page, full-color, glossy magazine includes artwork and contact information for over 500 SF artists, as well as articles on San Francisco’s renowned art community.

ArtSpan distributes 20,000 copies of the Guide to coffee shops, hotels, museums, bookstores, and many other retail and tourist spots throughout the Bay Area while the online Guide reaches thousands more throughout the USA. Last year, the Guide was distributed to over 500 locations in San Francisco alone. SF Open Studios attendees visit the mapped artists’ locations and keep the Guide as a memento and a reference.
