Silicon Valley Open Studios (SVOS) Artists Resume In-Person Visits

Popular, 35-year arts tradition will be both in studios and online in September


CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The artists of Silicon Valley Open Studios (SVOS) are resuming in-studio visits on the Peninsula, South Bay and Coast the third and fourth weekends of September (September 18-19 and 25-26).

The event, a Bay Area arts tradition for 35 years, will enable art lovers to view and buy great local art either in person or from the comfort of their homes at www.svos.org. Additionally, a preview exhibit will take place August 23-September 15 at Art Ark Gallery in San Jose (1035 S. 6th St.).

“Our hybrid format enables art enthusiasts to see original art both in person and online,” said Stephen Toll, SVOS executive director. “We believe the community’s enthusiastic support of last year’s online shows reflects the importance of art in our lives and the unique personality of the Bay Area.”
