This is no ordinary Sunday drive. On October 20-21, Lamorinda Arts Alliance (LAA) hosts a free self-guided driving tour to 26 artists' studios in Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda. The event kicks off with a reception Friday, October 19, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Lafayette Studio, where visitors can preview LAA artists' photographs, paintings, sculptures, and other artworks. From landscape photographs of majestic Mt. Diablo to exquisite porcelain dinnerware to dynamic, kinetic sculptures that can jazz up your whole yard, the artwork in Lamorinda is as diverse as the 26 artists on this year's tour. Light refreshments will be available at some studios, and artists will have their work for sale. Peek into artists' studios to learn more about their creative processes, add to your fine-art collection, or just enjoy a scenic drive through Lamorinda's hills to meet the artists who work here. Lamorinda Arts Alliance is a group of artists who live or work in or near Lamorinda. Its mission is to educate artists and the public on a range of art-related topics and to promote appreciation of the region's arts. Open Studios is the Allliance's largest annual event. You can pick up a map of the studios at the reception or print your own from the LAA web site at laa4art.org.
