There’s a shared appreciation for craft at the heart of what Napco does and what we celebrate during Open Studios. Behind the finished work are years of practice, patience and people who care deeply about what they do.

Come for the art. Stay out all day.

Open Studios is an excellent excuse to spend a weekend exploring Napa Valley, and we fully encourage making the most of every mile between studio stops.

A few ideas from us:
• Work up an appetite exploring, then grab lunch at Hop Creek 
• Stop by the Napa Toy Museum while you’re making your way through downtown Napa
• Head upvalley for a splash of w**e with our friends and Open Studios sponsor Raymond Vineyards 
• Give the car a break and bike between stops using the Napa Valley Vine Trail 
• Pick a part of the Open Studios map you’ve never explored and take the back roads to get there

There’s no right way to do Open Studios. Make a day of it, make it your own, and experience a different side of Napa Valley along the way.

📸 And we want to see where the weekend takes you! Snap photos and videos as you explore and tag Open Studios Napa Valley so we can follow along.

👀 Keep an eye out for Open Studios signs dotting the Valley all weekend to help guide you from stop to stop.

09/09/2026

📢 Spread the word! The first weekend of Open Studios kicks off in just 10 days, and we want to get this community event on the radar of as many locals and art lovers as possible.

Like, share, tag a friend, tell a neighbor, then come out and see it for yourself! Our artists have been working hard behind the scenes, getting their homes and studios ready to welcome you in and share what they’ve been creating.
