Look for the Ramona Open Studio Tour April 14 & 15, 2011!
If you've ever wondered what an artist's studio looks like, now is your opportunity to see for yourself. During the Ramona Open Studios Tour, artists in Ramona, CA will open their studios to curious visitors, inviting them to talk, check out how they work, and buy artwork if they're interested.
Ramona, located at the foothills of the Cuyamaca mountains and known as the Valley of the sun, is the fastest growing unincorporated area of San Diego. First inhabited by a sem-nomadic people, the Diegueno Indians, Ramona
became the site for some of the largest turkey ranches in the world in the 1920’s. Today the ranching community in Ramona has become focused in the equestrian industry and boasts the largest population of horses in San Diego
County. Recently, Ramona Valley has been recognized as an American Viticulture Area (AVA) with 9 wineries in the valley. The Ramona area is home to many nationally known and award winning artists featured on the tour.
