Each year the community of artists and artisans in the City of Benicia welcome visitors to experience an Open Studios event the first weekend of May. Over seventy studios are open to the public for those two days, and visitors are afforded a rare opportunity to talk personally with artists whose work they admire and to see their favorite – or soon-to-be favorite – artists at work.
