This summer CAM takes the St. Louis public into artist studios across St. Louis with our 6th Annual City-Wide Open Studios. City-Wide Open Studios offers a unique opportunity for the St. Louis public to explore the creative and personal spaces of local artists while providing the ability to enjoy one of the most exciting parts of contemporary art – the chance to talk with the artists themselves. Through the CWOS program local artists are connected to the museum, while the museum connects participating artists to the larger St. Louis arts community.

Eligible artists must maintain working studios in St. Louis City, University City, or Maplewood to participate in the program, and must be able to open their studios to the public from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on either Saturday, July 30 or Sunday, July 31, 2011. CAM will allocate, based upon neighborhood, which day your studio will be open. On a first-come-first-served basis, a limited number of studio spaces will also be made available at an alternate venue to those artists whose studios lie outside the prescribed limits.

In addition to promoting a tour of your studio, CAM will display ONE work from your collection at the Open Studios Preview from July 26-31. Please note, the artworks act as a small representations of an artists’ studio practice. The Open Studios Preview allows visitors a glimpse into an artists’ practice and enables them to plan their weekend itinerary based upon the physical artworks they are most interested in. Because of the volume of artworks received, 2-D works will be hung salon-style and 3-D works will be organized appropriately within the limited floor space.
