ArtSpan's SF Open Studios seeks to:
* Allow local emerging and established artists the opportunity to open their studio doors and show their artwork in a democratic forum
* Provide the art-loving public with the opportunity to enjoy art at its origin and to start a dialogue with artists that may lead to the start of an art collection.
