Applications are now open​

and close April 1, 2025

​​​

The focus of the tour is to provide a fun and enticing exhibition and sales opportunity for local artists, to create an opportunity for patrons, supporters and the art-interested public to visit the artists in their studios/studio galleries, and to promote sales, interest, and heightened art and cultural awareness within the community.

​

No Studio? No Problem.

Some artists’ studio space may not be, what they deem, as presentable to the public. It is common for some artists to share exhibition space with other tour artists in their studios, so don’t let that hold you back. The quality of the artist’s work is the most important consideration.

​

Get Involved

The studio tour is self-organized by all artists on the tour. Participating artists must be willing to commit a few hours volunteering to do the work required to make the Tour a success.

tour requirements

Did you read them? It's what makes the tour cohesive and a good experience for our artists and visitors. Make sure you read them here.

how it works

Artists are selected by a Jury comprised of a three-person group of active tour artists, and established independent art professionals from the community. Artists who jury in are accepted for three years. Artists that have participated for ten consecutive years or more are no longer required to jury.

 

Jurying new applicants and returning artists that have not juried for the previous three years will occur in mid-April. New applicants should fill out the application and pay the jury fee on-line or by check for the 2025 tour. Jury fees are non-refundable.

 

All artists must submit an application even if they are not required to jury. Returning artists from 2023 & 2024 do not need to Jury. Jury fees are non-refundable to artists who pay the jury fee in years they're not required.

​

The Jury Fee is $35.
