Each Fall, artists across Arvada open their studios to the public for a weekend. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the places where the creative process happens and view artists' newest work. When the creative urge strikes, artists will take over any available space to work. The studios on this tour run the full range - everything from corners of back bedrooms to large dedicated buildings.

The tour is also a great time to shop for art works for your home or gifts for the holidays. Many of the artists on the tour also offer gift items, note cards as well as art works in a wide range of prices.

The 2012 Tour will be expanding to two glorious weekends. Mark your calendars now and plan to visit all the artists on your list.
