ADVERTISE WITH THE HWY 62 OPEN STUDIO ART TOURS
The HWY 62 Open Studio Art Tours Catalog is a high-quality print catalog that promotes this hugely popular hi-desert event. The Tour takes place over the first three weekends of October. Now in its 24th year it has become the largest event of its kind in Southern California.
The catalog is the essential guide for all Art Tours visitors, and a cherished souvenir distributed free throughout the hi and low deserts. This year we plan to distribute 10,000 catalogs, as well as downloadable version on our website which will reach thousands more.
Our visitors spend over $500,000 on local art each year, and we estimate at least that same amount is also spent on lodging, eateries, services and shopping in our region.
Your ad purchase will go directly to supporting around 200 local artists across the Morongo Basin and promote your business to thousands of locals and out of town visitors.
