San Juan Island Artists’ Studio Tour

June 6, 2009
10:00 amto5:00 pm
June 7, 2009
10:00 amto5:00 pm

A self-guided tour of 17 working studios with over 35 guest artists. We are a group of mutually supportive San Juan Island artists who open up our personal studio spaces, often including artistic gardens, to the public for an entire week-end at the end of spring each year. This free community event celebrates the way we work and live. In addition to displaying our work, including sculpture, jewelry, photography, woodworking, glass, fiber wearable, and fine art, we share insights into how our art is created and what inspires and motivates us. Some studios will be providing live demonstrations. Visit our web site for a map of the studios on the tour – www.sanjuanislandartists.com. The studio artists are donating their work to be given away to the lucky winners of our drawing. Attendees of the tour may put their name in the drawing at each studio they visit. Winners will be notified by phone.
