The story

Ubud Open Studios in Gianyar/Ubud

A June weekend event opening more than sixty working artist studios across Ubud and Gianyar Regency to the public, with live demonstrations, talks, and workshops replacing a single curated exhibition space, with artist talks and hands-on workshops supplementing the self-guided studio route across the two adjoining regions.

Rather than gathering artwork into a single exhibition hall, this festival sends visitors out across dozens of working studios scattered through Ubud and greater Gianyar Regency, opening the doors of painters, sculptors, ceramicists, and multimedia artists for a long weekend each June.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival has no central venue at all

02

The mystery stays covered

instead visitors move between dozens of real working studios across two regions, watching painters, sculptors, and ceramicists demonstrate techniques in their actual workspaces rather than viewing finished pieces in a gallery setting

03

The city starts moving

That decentralized, self-guided structure is a genuinely different format from a typical juried arts festival

04

The water draws everyone in

A dedicated partner network coordinates studio participation each year, reflecting the event's growth from a smaller initial gathering into a recognized cultural fixture
