The 15th annual On and Off Fredericksburg Road Studio Tour presented by Bihl Haus Arts returns with more than 50 participating artists who will open their studios in San Antonio’s historic Deco District to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26.

And for the second time, the tour will also take place for a second weekend on Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2 when many but not all participating studios will open again from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“On & Off Fred” is a self-guided tour of private homes, art studios and galleries of participating artists of all kinds – painters, sculptors, photographers, and clothing designers. The studio tour kicks off with the On & Off Fred Autograph Party and opening reception from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 24 at Bihl Haus Arts, 2803 Fredericksburg Road. Guests, who bring their catalogs for artists to sign, enjoy poolside music by Latin-fusion band Los Nahuatlatos, a family-friendly art project and refreshments. Deco Pizzeria will also provide food and refreshments as a sponsor this year.

Artists featured in “On & Off Fred” live and/or work in surrounding Fredericksburg Road communities: Alta Vista, Beacon Hill, Los Angeles Heights, Jefferson, Keystone, Monticello Park Woodlawn Lake, and Edison.

“We invite the community to come enjoy two weekends of art,” said Mycah Arellano, Bihl Haus Arts executive director. “You can get a first-hand look at how the artists work and purchase artworks directly from them.”

To take the tour, attendees purchase either the $15 hardcopy color catalog available only at the Bihl Haus Arts gallery. It features the indispensable tour map plus individual artist bios and images of their artworks. The online catalog is free and available with a QR code on the website.
