There’s an artist in your neighborhood with their studio doors wide open.

Artists Open, a free event where artists across Miami-Dade County open their studios to the public, returns for its fifth year Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The day is organized by Fountainhead Arts, a Miami-based arts nonprofit.

Over 300 artists, both in individual studios and large studio complexes, participate in the daylong event. Kathryn Mikesell, the Fountainhead co-founder and executive director, said Artists Open is a great opportunity for art lovers and community members to meet local creatives and learn more about Miami’s diverse arts scene.

“We truly believe that intimate access to artists and art moves us to understand ourselves, each other and the world around us, leading us to connect, repair and imagine,” Mikesell said. “Artists Open creates the perfect opportunity to directly support artists and begin living with art as most artists will have works available to purchase.”
