Artist Information

Welcome artists and artisans!  

Now in its 11th year, Sierra Art Trails has earned a reputation for excellence, and is highly anticipated by repeat visitors and art collectors. 

The Sierra Art Trails Yosemite Foothills Open Studio Tour (SAT) is the largest and most anticipated arts event in the area, encompassing more than a dozen communities in two counties. Participating artists are featured in the tour catalog, included in a month-long Preview Exhibit, and benefit from an extensive advertising campaign promoting the event.

The show attracts art buyers from throughout California and beyond.  By participating you not only promote your own work, you also support your community by making it a place people look forward to visiting! 

Our generous sponsors include Sierra Telephone, Yosemite Sierra Visitor's Bureau, KJewel Radio, Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, and ValleyPBS.

Our 2013 marketing campaign includes print advertising in Sierra Heritage Magazine, Yosemite Gazette, ValleyPBS Audiophile magazine, the Sierra Star, radio advertising on KJWL, KFCF, and KVPR, and television advertising on ValleyPBS. Our annual color brochure is mailed out  to more than 1000 potential visitors. Brochures and invitation postcards will also be distributed to participating artists at the All Artists Meeting in mid August. 

The 2013 catalog can be pre-purchased on the web site and will be available at select retail locations in August. 

Please help us spread the word!  Support your fellow artists and the Art Trails planning committee by promoting yourself and the event weekend.  

Encourage friends and family to purchase a catalog.  Consider creating your own postcards, flyers, or posters in preparation for the event. By working together we help insure the weekend will be a success for everyone!  

The Submission Process for Sierra Art Trails 2013 is Closed. 

Thank you everyone who applied!
