Missed an artist/studio during North Coast Open Studios 2025? Fret not! Many participating artists are happy to be contacted throughout the year to open their studio by appointment. Send the artist an email or text and let them know you'd like to schedule a time to see them if they're available.

Plus, there's a whole section at the end of the numbered guidebook listings reserved for artists who are ONLY open by appointment.

Whether or not you tackled the North Coast Open Studios BINGO game for 2025, we value your thoughts on our event, as a visitor. The NCOS Visitor Survey is on page 8 of the guidebook (and downloadable at northcoastopenstudios-dot-com) and can be returned to the Ink People's address at the bottom of the survey by Monday, June 23rd for a chance to win a $25 cash value gift card.

Your input helps make this event stronger each year.

I just realized I forgot to post my annual end-of-event studio visits total: 88! Not the most we've ever visited in one year, but not the least, either. This tells me that we had some absolutely fantastic conversations and just didn't want to leave quickly, know what I mean?

Thank you to our 154 participating artists, our sponsors, all of the visitors, and to the Ink People for being our fiscal sponsor -- giving us nonprofit status without the responsibility of maintaining our own nonprofit.

This weekend, artist Richard Akers of Pigeon Point Artisans had two of his really nice signs stolen... for the second time in a couple years. These things aren't cheap, and that someone helped themselves to an artist's promotion is really disheartening.

Prank? Malicious? Spur of the minute decision? Doesn't really matter. I'd love to see Richard get his signs back.



Please share to your stories and wherever else it should be seen. I'm happy to act as a facilitator to the signs' return, if someone knows who has them.
