Stay tune for Todos Santos Open Studio Tour 2024 with our 13th edition on February, 9, 10 and 11.

After a two year hiatus the Todos Santos Open Studio Tour is back with our 12th edition. This year we have over 50 artists and many of them are new to the tour.

We will be kicking off the weekend on Friday, February 3, 2023, 6 – 8pm with a Meet the Artist Opening party at Doce Cuarenta Todos Santos. During this event you will have a chance to meet some of the artists before the tour. Don’t miss out on the special live auction to help raise money for The Palapa Society. We will also have live music along with a food a beverage pairing that will be sure to tempt your tastebuds.

Saturday and Sunday, February 4 & 5, 2023 is when our most talented artists in the area open up their private studios and share their magic with you. Each artist will be showcasing and selling art at their studios. This is the highlight of the weekend. Our last tour saw about 300 people over one weekend. We are anticipating this year to be at the same level. So wear your comfortable shoes and don’t forget to bring water. We will have refill stations available at various locations that you will be able to locate on your map.


That leads us to the most exciting update for our tour… We are holding our first ever ZERO WASTE event. We are teaming up with Cero Basura BCS to create an event that aligns with cero basura principles to produce increasingly less waste. This means that there will be a LIMITED number of paper maps this year, and NO paper maps next year. There will be a digital map that will be made available to you . Simply access via your cell phone. This map will show you all the locations of the artists studios, photos of some of their work and bio’s about each of them. You can mark you favorite ones or preplan your route based on the artists you want to see.

Anne Hebebrand


Anne Hebebrand lives six months of the year in Todos Santos where her art is informed by the beauty around her as she searches to express these sensations in a deeply personal voice. Hebebrand’s paintings are like maps of memories and ever changing impressions of the world. Overlapping geometric shapes rich in texture and color reveal an array of details of delicate transitions and passages. An ongoing exploration of cold wax and oil techniques lead to a tactile surface created not only by adding layers, but also by excavating and unearthing earlier layers. To continue reading…

Gina Cerda

Creativity is innate in my being. Rather than be in rooms as a child, my passion was to be with nature. Living my childhood in four distinct seasons on the east coast, I grew to love light, color, shadows and darkness. Nature has always been my teacher. I am a self-taught artist and my art has a deep spiritual connection to nature. My livelihood for 20 years was creating art with metal and welding as my medium. I continued with fervor until my working wrist, arm. and shoulder asked me to stop. The communication was via pain. That is when I started painting with acrylics. Immediately I fell in love yet again. I realized clearly that my creativity is a gift. It shows up in many ways. Presently I am studying oil and cold wax. A stimulating challenge. To Continue Reading…

Jill Mollenhauer


I always knew I wanted to be an artist, and at the suggestion of one of my science teachers, I began to direct my college studies toward medical illustration. However, partway through, I was offered a job teaching Junior High level art and I discovered a new interest. This position morphed into full time employment teaching grades K through 8, along with private classes for all ages. This interaction with my students so filled me with joy, that I dedicated myself to it fully.

After a decade with the school, the opportunity arose to focus solely on my work as a freelance artist, so I jumped in and began painting murals. To continue reading…

Pablo Marquez

In these photographs I am following a personal act of conscious freedom. When I undertake the journey to remote nature, the focus of the work is on my own spirit in union with the ephemeral nature discovered without being influenced by an external need.
The photographs are a documentation, through the timeless forms of the natural world, that could not be there in the next moment, or day, and they are part of eternity. I see it as a potential mystery to be solved, a stimulus for the imagination.
In my own discovery of the work, there is a new way of seeing, feeling and understanding, . To Continue Reading….
