||| FROM ZOE OSENBACH for ARTISTS STUDIO TOUR |||
This August 8th through 10th, follow the signs for a unique glimpse into the vibrant artist community on our beautiful island.
This free, self-guided tour is a long standing island tradition and grants visitors access to the intimate, creative, and inspiring spaces of talented local artists. See artists at work, discover new processes, and hear how beautiful works of art came to be.
The tour runs 3 days starting Friday, August 8th through Sunday, August 10th. Studios are open daily from 11am to 5pm for demonstrations and the opportunity to purchase art directly from the artists, many of whom create new work specifically for this event.
This year features more than 35 artists across a wide variety of mediums, including blacksmithing, ceramics, encaustics, painting, sculpture, mixed media, fine art photography, and many more.
We’re bringing the Studio Tour Passport back! Traverse the whole island and be entered to win a bounty of handcrafted fine art from island artists. Brochures will be available at the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce, as well as at artists studios. Further information can be found at www.OrcasArtistStudioTour.com.
