Organization Summary
The Hwy 62 Open Studio Art Tours (OSAT): since 2001, OSAT is a one-of-a-kind experience for residents and visitors to create a customized self-guided tour of over one hundred artist studios in the Morongo Basin, featuring a total of 225 local artists. The Art Tour is a free to attend annual event spanning three weekends in October, which builds community between artists and residents, and generates over $500,000 in combined sales for local artists. To date, it is the largest open studio event in Southern California and is a huge economic driver for the rural region of the Morongo Basin. The program is organized and directed by a combination of paid and volunteer support, all being local to the area served.
