The EFA Studio Program opened its doors to over 2,000 visitors from October 14-16 for our annual Open Studios event. Our 76 member artists displayed their latest work (some finished, some still in process) and talked with the public about their artistic practice. To see photos from the event, CLICK HERE!]]>
EFA Studios has enjoyed a busy month of May - full of gatherings for our artists, receptions for our friends, and many lively discussions about what's in store for EFA Studios over the summer. You can check out some pictures of our most recent office exhibition and reception on our facebook page!
