19th Annual Colony of Coastside Artists Open Studios
November 21 - 22, 2026 from 10am to 5pm
Just for fun, come to the beautiful San Mateo County coast to see 59 artists across 33 studios from Montara to Half Moon Bay! My talented wife, Julie, will be showcasing her artisan jewelry, and I’ll be giving guided darkroom tours.
There will be thrills all around! Highlights include:
The world’s largest stash of tungsten-balanced film, made obsolete in 2008!
(not for sale)
The books that inspire this photographic artist!
(also not for sale)
Framed original artworks available for delivery directly to your home!
L to R: Cardinal Penstomen, Eryngium, and Indian Paintbrush
An archaic light table with actual film on it!
(not for sale)
My state-of-the-art darkroom, where over 1,900 signed original prints have been made!
(no sunglasses needed!)
And on the Julie B Studio side of the house, explore hand-crafted adornment for you and your friends!
(buy, buy, buy!)
and lastly, take this as fair warning: ask her about her jewelry, NOT her new grandchild, or you may be trapped for hours and miss the rest of the studio tours!
