Artists' Open Studios Tour of Northeastern ConnecticutDecember 7 & December 8, 10 am to 5 pm
Artists throughout northeastern Connecticut will share their art and processes with visitors Thanksgiving weekend and the first weekend of December. Thirty-nine individual studios, four with guest artists, plus four group shows in public venues will feature oil and water color paintings, weaving, woodworking, pottery, photography, jewelry, linoleum prints, art made from repurposed items and more. The public is invited to enjoy this exciting self-guided tour through the beautiful Quiet Corner of Connecticut.
The Tour is an opportunity to chat with artists about how they make their work and what inspires them. You can watch demonstrations. And, if you like, you can shop for gifts. All of the artists will offer work for purchase. Bring home a spoon, a bowl, a scarf, a dulcimer, a cutting board or necklace for your holiday giving. Or perhaps a painting or photograph to hang on your walls.
Brochures with maps and artist descriptions are available at area restaurants, post offices, and shops. They are also online at aosct.org. Online, you can read bios and artist's statements for each participant. Specific dates for each location are listed in the brochure and online. Be sure to check these when planning your tour, as not all artists are open both weekends.
Artists' Open Studios of Northeastern Connecticut has been celebrating the arts and connecting artists with the public for more than three decades. Take the tour with friends or family or by yourself. It is a fun and relaxing way to enjoy the artistic and scenic richness of the farming towns and rejuvenated mill towns that make up this part of the state.
