A Tour of Inspiration and Connection
Participating artists open their studios to share where the magic happens—inviting patrons to see how and where art is created. Visitors will discover new artists, revisit favorites, and enjoy the opportunity to purchase work directly from creators with no commission fees taken.

Each artist is also featured in the printed and online Artist Directory, designed to help patrons stay connected for commissions, purchases, and ongoing creative collaborations.

Sponsors and art lovers can also directly support the tour by sponsoring artists or contributing to event costs, ensuring that participation remains affordable for artists while sustaining the directory, website, and programming.

About the Organizers
