Cubberley Artists Open Studios
Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 1–5 p.m.
E, F and U wings, Cubberley Community Center
4000 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto | Free and family-friendly
Step inside the studios of 23 artists to see what they are creating, hear about their process and find art to bring home. Explore painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, printmaking and more as you make your way through the E, F and U wings at the north end of Cubberley Community Center.
Held twice a year, Open Studios invites you to meet the artists of the Cubberley Artist Studio Program, which supports artists with rent-subsidized workspace and a creative community in exchange for public programming and community service.
Come early for the book sale and lunch, then spend the afternoon exploring the studios and an interactive art installation.

Between the E, F and U wings | 1–5 p.m.
