This November, ICB ART will open the doors to its iconic Sausalito art studios for The Big Open, its largest open studio event of the year. A once-a-year celebration that has become a destination for art lovers and collectors, The Big Open draws visitors from across the Bay Area and beyond who make plans specifically to experience this special weekend.

Over one weekend, more than 100 fine artists invite the public into their studios to discover original art and experience the energy of one of Sausalito’s most distinctive creative communities.

Visitors are invited to wander studios across three floors of the ICB building at their own pace, meet artists in their working environments, discover one-of-a-kind artwork, and take in the creative energy surging through the halls. The range is extraordinary: painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, fiber, jewelry, printmaking, mixed media and more, from artists working in vastly different styles and approaches.

During The Big Open, visitors can talk directly with the artists whose work draws them in, learn more about the backstory, and purchase original art directly from the people who made it.
