Self-guided. Artist-driven. Community-centered.

The Philadelphia Open Studio Tours (POST) is a self-guided experience of our city’s creative spaces. POST is free for anyone to attend, spend an afternoon visiting local artists and makers, and feel connected with the arts happening, here and now.

New this year, we are delighted to offer Curated POST Itineraries to offer new ideas for your POST-day plans. Please continue reading below for recommendations to make your open studio visits memorable!
