The Whatcom Artist Studio Tour was founded in 1995 to bring the public into artists' working studios for a two weekend self-guided tour and sale. The Studio Tour offers visitors insight into the creative process, work-life and work-environment of area artists and provides an opportunity for people to purchase original works directly from their makers.

​

The Whatcom Artist Studio Tour began with ten artists and has grown to be a well orchestrated tour featuring nearly 70 artists in 2023 working in more than a dozen different media, and featuring 45 studios scattered throughout Bellingham and Whatcom County.

​

The tour celebrates it's 29th year in 2024. Each studio features the work of the primary artist, and some may include additional artists as well, providing a unique and compelling variety of artwork.

It's an opportunity to buy work from local artists, to find new sources of inspiration, to share and to learn. And it's a fun two weekends of exploring Bellingham, Whatcom County and artists workspaces!
