Description: Benicia Artists Open Studios is Arts Benicia’s most highly attended annual event with more than 4,000 visitors! This year’s weekend-long celebration is Saturday & Sunday, May 7 & 8 from 10 am to 5pm. Benicia is well known for its vibrant artist community. Each year scores of artists open the doors of their studio spaces throughout Benicia’s Historic Arsenal District and all over Benicia, providing a unique glimpse into their creative world.
