The theme of this year’s annual exhibition with the Ojai Studio Artists (OSA) is Metamorphosis.
All art is a metaphor. Life is an adventure into the unknown, and metamorphosis is an inevitable part of it. Transformations are constant and ongoing. Every person is constantly changing. As an artist’s life changes, their work typically also changes, in form, structure, or character. For this exhibition, artists were asked to depict a metamorphosis. It may be a transformation in their life, their work, or in the world around them. Through many styles and mediums, their work explores the quest for transformation.
The annual Ojai Studio Artists three-day October art tour features studios across the valley. This is a one-stop preview of work by all sixty-two participating artists.
The community-based group has been celebrating Ojai arts and offering scholarships to local students for more than 40 years.

Ojai’s world-renowned art tour back this October with more than 70 studios open to public.
Always a highlight of the Southern California arts calendar, the Ojai Studio Artists (OSA) is back Oct 11-13, 2025. The three-day “choose-your-own adventure” extravaganza delights collectors, decorators and the merely curious.
More than 70 artists will open their private spaces over the course of the long weekend in a tour that featured paintings, sculptures, fiber arts, collage, jewelry, glass, prints, mixed media and all manner of artworks, all experienced in a variety of intimate and idiosyncratic spaces by members of a community-based nonprofit devoted to celebrating Ojai arts.
Ticket holders received a program and map of participating studios, from backyard wonderlands within walking distance of the town arcade, to stone cabins nestled up Sulphur Mountain.
