About Open Studios

Open Studios Waitākere is an annual weekend opportunity for artists resident in the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area to open their studios to the public. With over 80 artists involved, and 40 studios from Piha to Glen Eden, Titirangi to Te Henga, it's an inspiring weekend out and about! 

Supported by the Waitākere Ranges Local Board, the weekend provides the opportunity for the community to meet local artists, see art in action, purchase local artwork and learn about the creative process. Visitors have the opportunity to visit the studios of some of Waitākere's most celebrated artists including sculptors, painters, jewellers, illustrators, ceramic artists and photographers.
