The Henderson County Open Studio Tour
September 25th & 26th 2010
 
 

The Arts Council of Henderson County offers the annual opportunity of the Open Studio Tour to glimpse the innovative and productive world of the working artist.

For those who appreciate and collect art, this is your chance to meet Henderson County artists in their own environment. Observe firsthand the inside workings of each artists' studio.

The core activity for the weekend is a free self-guided tour of the participating artists' studios as well as some of Henderson County's leading galleries. Many of these artists and galleries offer ongoing demonstrations of the processes involved in creating their art. Take the time to talk to the artists. Discover their history and evolution with their art. Share their vision and reflections of what art means to each of them.
