Studio Tours
November 7 & 8, 2009
10 am - 4 pm
Various locations around Tacoma

2009 marks the 8th anniversary of the Art at Work studio tours! The tours allow the general public the opportunity to see the spaces in and tools with which local artists create their work. It is also a chance to watch demonstrations, ask artists questions, purchase one-of-a-kind creations and, in some cases, even try your hand at creating your own masterpiece.

The Studio Tours are now accepting applications!

Deadline: July 20, 2009

The Tacoma Arts Commission is seeking professional artists who are willing to open their studios to the public in our eighth annual studio tours, one of the features of Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month this November. Studios will be open on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8 from 10 am to 4 pm. 

Applicants will be juried by a sub-committee of the Tacoma Arts Commission and selected based on the quality of artwork, the overall diversity of the work presented as well as geographic diversity. To qualify, your studio must be located within the City of Tacoma limits. A studio is defined as a location where artwork is created on a consistent basis.

For more information and directions on how to apply, check out the Studio Tour information sheet (PDF).

New for 2009, apply online!
