Philadelphia Open Studio Tours

That’s a wrap on ! 🎉
Thank you to all the artists, audiences, and supporters who have been part of the Philadelphia Open Studio Tours. Your creativity, energy, and engagement have made this milestone year unforgettable!

A special thank you to every artist who opened their studio doors and shared their creative world with visitors. After a month filled with inspiring conversations and meaningful connections, we hope you feel as energized and inspired as we do.

We’re deeply grateful to our Community Partners who championed artists in their neighborhoods and helped spread the word about POST, and to our dedicated volunteers whose support makes this event possible each year.

A huge thank you to our 2025 Event Sponsors:
PNC Arts Alive, My Personal Curator, Artists for Artists Global , Blick Art Materials , Penn Treaty Special Services District , Plaza Art Materials , Artist & Craftsman Supply , Sonesta Philadelphia , and Stratton Sculpture Studios.

Special thanks to our partners:


And finally, to all the visitors who explored studios across the city — whether for a day or across all four afternoons — thank you for showing up for Philly’s creative community. We hope the connections you made continue to grow beyond POST.

We can’t wait to see you at our upcoming events and programs! If you loved POST, please consider supporting CFEVA’s year-round work with a donation. Your contribution helps us continue to offer free events, programs, and professional resources for artists throughout the region.
