Support: but with contents being condensed and merged into the Studio article (perhaps into a new subsection under Art studio?). I did a quick search for reliable sources but unfortunately found only examples of such events. Meticulo (talk) 22:35, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete these happen all over the world, but it's not something that is really encyclopedic to me, as if expanded (which would be easy to do, with sources), it would exist simply as a directory of open studio events. There's really not much to say about open studios. Maybe this could be merged to something like cultural tourism?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Open Studio as I actually think that a description of what an open studio is, and the history of this social formation is quite interesting, and worthy of an article.[1][2] The problem is that both articles are rife with promocruft. Neither Brighton Artists Open Houses nor Open Studios Cyprus are significant. There is also a page for Artists Open House. Bushwick Open Studios should prob have a page.[3][4][5][6] I think that Here are some existing pages Helfa gelf, Spring Fling Open Studios, Somerville Open Studios. Given that there are articles about specific open studio event, it seems logical that the phenomenon itself should have a page. --Theredproject (talk) 02:50, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support:Open Studio Events are a fundamentally new type of collective cultural event (new, as in 30 years old) that take place in many parts of many countries. Although they are a new type of event, that does not make them less worthy of inclusion. Open Studio Events do not equate with any other type of art event, and should therefore be entitled to their own Wikipedia page. Individual Open Studio Events vary significantly in their precise form but share overall objectives. Therefore, a page for Open Studio Event should be considered on a par with a page like Arts festival. Maybe there is a case for separate pages for "Open Studio Event" and "List of Open Studio Events". Note that many participants in an Open Studio Event are not an Open Studio, in that they are normally private work spaces that open only for the event.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The discussion thus far is lamentably weak in terms of citing WP:PAG.
