HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - Oct. 17, 2021 - PRLog -- This November 2021 marks the 27th year for the Orange County Artists Guild's Annual Open Studio Tour. During the first two weekends in November, more than 100 artists located throughout Orange County will be participating in this juried event and opening their studios to visitors. OCAG's Open Studio Tour is a rare opportunity for art lovers to meet artists in their studios, to view and purchase art directly from the artists, and in many instances to watch as artists demonstrate their craft. Studio Tour brochures and maps to participants' studios are available at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts and other area locations or on the Guild website: http://www.ocagnc.org

Many artists on the tour will have work in the OCAG Preview Exhibit at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts from October 29 - November 14. The preview show is a wonderful opportunity for a first look at the work of artists on the tour and can help you plan your tour route.
