About the Spotlight Artist Program

East Bay Open Studios believes in showcasing the talent of our creative community, that’s why we spotlight a participating artist each event.

All artists who register for East Bay Open Studios are invited to submit their artwork to be featured prominently in the promotion and marketing materials for our twice-yearly East Bay Open Studios events. The Oakland Art Murmur team narrows down submissions to a set of finalists who are then publicly voted on - with one Spotlight Artist selected for the event’s program.

The Spotlight Artist’s artwork is used in our printed and digital marketing materials as well as featured storytelling and acting as an emblem of East Bay Open Studios and the artists we represent.
