COBB, Calif. – The Cobb Artist Collective will hold its annual Open Studios tour on Saturday, Oct. 26, and Sunday, Oct. 27.
The event will be held at various artist’s studios in the Cobb Mountain area from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
Cobb Mountain Artists began Open Studios back in 2004 to support the artists living in our community.
It was one of its most successful events that happened yearly until the Valley fire, when most of the group’s board members lost their homes and studios.
After a four-year hiatus, some of the members decided to bring it back via a new group, the Cobb Artist Collective.
Set in beautiful south Lake County and the Mayacamas Range, members are artists from varied backgrounds and disciplines.
When you visit the studios, you're visiting some of the most resilient artists who stayed back after the devastating fire, rebuilt their homes or moved here later.
“We hope our art and craftsmanship speaks to you like our hot springs and our retreats, with the silent whisper of our pines,” the group said in a statement.
