Venice Open Studios is an artist-run event dedicated to celebrating the creative spirit of Venice Beach and strengthening connections between artists, neighbors, and visitors. During the event, artists across the neighborhood open their studios, inviting the public into the spaces where creativity happens.

Venice Open Studios was founded and curated by Elizabeth Orleans, who launched the first event during Art Week in 2024. What began as a single studio initiative quickly grew into a multi-studio, multi-artist experience, with 22 participating artists across 16 studio spaces opening their doors to the community.

The mission continues to expand each year - nurturing a vibrant, supportive network of Venice artists and ensuring that the creative legacy of this neighborhood remains visible, celebrated, and thriving.
