Why Advertise in the SF Open Studios Guide?

ArtSpan's SF Open Studios Guide is the most effective way to reach the thousands of people touring SF Open Studios during October and November. ArtSpan distributes 20,000 copies of the Guide to coffee shops, hotels, museums, bookstores, as well as retail and tourist spots throughout the Greater Bay Area. It functions as a year-round resource for art collectors, art dealers, restaurant owners, interior designers, and other art enthusiasts who want to contact artists directly. The 200-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.
