"The best thing about the Art Tours is that you never know what you'll discover. With over 30 different categories of art, you might see a tile house followed by an abstract painter followed by a sculptor. You get to choose what you want based on your interest. There are so many different artists here with unique studio spaces that you can't possibly see them all. It's a big reason why we went to three weekends this year." -Bill Green, Art Tours Director
