EFA OPEN STUDIOS is an annual event that welcomes the public to visit the studios and galleries of the EFA building in Midtown Manhattan. It is an opportunity to see the most recent works by artists and to gain meaningful insight into their process of creation. We invite curators, collectors, dealers, artists, and art lovers to join in a meaningful dialog with our internationally recognized members. The EFA Studio Program is a vibrant and diverse community of over 75 artists working in a wide range of media and artistic sensibilities. All are professional artists with established studio practices and career honors. The EFA Robert Blackburn Print Making Workshop and EFA Project Space will be open for tours and demos.
