Saturday and Sunday, September 10-11, 2022 10am – 5pm.*
*Please note the date of the tour has been moved from October to the second weekend of September.
The 2022 tour has more than fifty artists participating, including 13 artists new to the tour. Visitors are invited to tour 31 studios/creative spaces and two galleries that will all feature working artists living and working in the 98221 Zip Code. Free maps are available at the participating galleries; Scott Milo Gallery and Joanie Schwartz Glass/MoonWater Arts.
Look for colorful signage designating open studios from the Skyline neighborhood to Cap Sante and from Old Town to the foot of Mt. Erie – with free maps to guide visitors who love to see where local art is created and to meet the artists who welcome questions about their work.
Learn about the artistry of blacksmithing, or how to turn a piece of driftwood into a graceful sculpture. Step into the world of Native American artists at work in our town or see how stained glass windows and lamps are delicately created.
Hear about what inspires an artist to paint or ask questions of a photographer who captures images you love. Artists’ backgrounds range from traditional Samish bentwood boxes to paintings inspired by a Hindu monoastic lifestyle and much more.
