LOCAL ARTISTS
The San Marcos Studio Tour is back for its fourth year. This year’s showcase features the work of over 86 talented artists from the greater San Marcos area. The tour will occur over two weekends: Saturday, April 4 - Sunday, April 5 as well as Saturday April 11 - Sunday April 12.
The free city-wide celebration of creativity invites locals and visitors alike to explore the unique spaces where art comes to life.
The excitement begins on Friday, April 3 at 7 p.m. with a Kick Off Party at Mothership Studios, the hub of the San Marcos Studio Tour, lo- cated at 20027 San Marcos HWY 80. Guests will have the opportunity to mingle with local artists, preview the artists on tour in our Group Exhibition, and enjoy an unforgettable evening of art, conversation, live music performances, and community connection.
The San Marcos Studio Tour offers a rare, behind- the-scenes look at the creative chaos within artists’ studios — spaces where inspiration thrives and masterpieces are born. From paint-splattered floors and walls covered in reference photos to clay-caked ceramic wheels and bustling wood and metal workshops, each studio visit offers a glimpse into the heart of the creative process. This year, attendees will have two weekends to explore a dynamic array of athome studios, warehouse workshops, and pop-up installations across San Marcos.
The immersive tour not only highlights the talent of local artists but also fosters meaningful connections between the arts and the broader community. In addition to open studios, participants can enjoy live art demonstrations, interactive experiences, and special events hosted by local business partners. Details about this melding of art, culture, and community can be found in the studio tour catalog and map, available on the tour website at studiotoursmtx. com or in print at MotherShip Studios.
Explore the artists that make San Marcos a creative center at the core of Texas’ art scene.
