The longtime Austin Studio Tour is returning for 2026 on November 14, 15, 21, and 22, with expanded offerings. This year there will be a citywide kick-off, a more detailed guide that comes out earlier, and events that continue throughout the year. Attendees will visit 309 locations to see the work of 815 artists, art groups, and hosts.
The free, self-guided annual tour is a popular way to get connected with the local art scene. Many participants open their working studios, while others show work in gallery pop-ups or even set up at a friend's house and other unique places around town.
Last year, 2025, was a landmark year for the Studio Tour. It was the first time it was hosted by the artist-led organization Almost Real Things (ART), after the original organizer, Big Medium, closed and passed the torch. According to a 2026 press release, that year's participation marked an all-time high with 720 artists, groups, and hosts.
