Local artists join in countywide self-guided tours

SAN DIEGO – For many artists, there is a sacred space where they create. In Fallbrook, artists are assuredly working behind the scenes in every part of the county.

More than 30 artists, many of whom have won national and international awards, are participating in the Second Annual Open Studios San Diego on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 15 and 16. Gabrielle Bitter, BJ Lane, Pico Medrano, Daniel and Vickey Marquez, Danielle Nelisse and Julia S Rasor will be participating in Fallbrook in their personal studios and at the San Diego Artist Retreat.

On this year’s tour, visitors will be able to enjoy and purchase diverse artwork including oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, fiber art, jewelry, ceramic art, woodwork, glass art, collage, sculptures and photography.

Short videos of last year’s participating artists, including Julia S Rasor, can be found on The Studio Door’s YouTube channel.
