How Ubud Open Studios artists describe their studios and art

In 2024, Ubud Open Studios showcased over 50 local and international artists’ studios, inviting attendees to enter their world of creativity and craftsmanship. A journey of artistic discovery & connection offering a glimpse into the sacred spaces where art comes to life. Behind every artwork is a story, a creative process—an artist’s journey.

Studios are a safe space for artists, where they can experiment & are free to express themselves. In Ubud Open Studios, we open the doors not only to their studios but also to the inner workings of their creative process. It is a chance to meet the artists, hear their stories, & watch them at work.
