What happened during 701 CCA Columbia Open Studios, May 21-22, 2011?
During the 701 CCA Columbia Open Studios weekend, thousands of people ventured out to visit artists at work in the Greater Columbia area (including all of Richland and Lexington Counties), with maps and artist statements in hand. Visitors can spend two full days hopping from studio to studio, with free admission for all.
