The message above says it all. There are some great works of art to be taken home this weekend. (Molly above, is not on the tour but wanted to draw your attention to all the great works of art that are available for adoption at reasonable prices)

There are about 40 first-time participants on the tour this spring, the fifth year of this grassroots, artist-initiated event. All kinds of artists working in a variety of mediums are participating in the tour.  This exciting event gives the public an opportunity to visit artists in their work spaces and learn about the techniques and processes that go into creating   different art forms.

Studios from Dove Mountain to Civano will be open. Many locations feature multiple artists working at one address, while other studio spaces are more intimate retreats.

On the tour you will see world-class artists working in about every medium available.
