Art opening: celebrating the Orcas Artist Studio Tour

The Visual Arts Committee of Orcas Center, and the Orcas Artist Studio Tour are excited to present the Studio Tour Art Opening on Friday, July 21 from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Madrona Room.

Join us in the Madrona Room and Orcas Center Lobby to preview the works of artists participating in this year’s studio tour. This free event features artists working in painting, printmaking, stone cutting, woodwork, blacksmithing, encaustics, ceramics, fiber arts, sculpture, photography, jewelry, and more. Light refreshments will be served, and musical entertainment will be provided by Island legend Ron Myers at the piano.

The Studio Tour is an annual self-guided tour around Orcas where local, working artists open their studios to the public. Individuals will be able to see an artist’s process first-hand, meet the artists and ask questions about techniques and inspiration, and purchase their most recent work. This year, the studio tour involves over 15 working artists, and takes place over August 11, 12, and 13. Learn more about the studio tour at: www.OrcasArtistStudioTour.com.

The Studio Tour exhibit will be on display at Orcas Center until August 29. Visit www.OrcasCenter.org for more information.
