Support the Long Beach Open Studio Tour
With over 3000 attendees and participants, the Long Beach Open Studio Tour is built by artists and powered by community. We ask for a minimum $100 donation to help keep this citywide event free, accessible, and welcoming to all.
If you are an individual, your support is also welcome. Your donation can either be anonymous or we can list your name under the Sponsors as an individual.
Your contribution helps cover:
- Website hosting and maintenance
- Marketing, yard signs, and printed brochures
- Promotion across neighborhoods
- Sponsorships for artists who cannot afford the entry fee
Every dollar goes directly back into the tour. Your support helps open studio doors, remove barriers for working artists, and keep this grassroots event thriving.
How We Recognize Our Sponsors
Our sponsors are part of the tour story.
Businesses will be pinned on our official digital tour map, the same interactive map visitors use to find studios throughout Long Beach. As guests travel from neighborhood to neighborhood, they will discover your business along the way.
Think, “Drop in and grab a coffee on your way to the Tour” or “Mention the Tour and get 10% off your purchase” or “Need a quick bite? Show us the map when you order and get a free drink.”
Each sponsor listing includes:
- Your business name
- A short description of what you are offering
- A visible pin on the citywide tour map
It is a simple, meaningful way for the community to see who supports local artists and to support you in return.
