The event runs September 24 through September 25.
The Montgomery County Studio Tour has announced their annual two-day event that showcases, highlights, and shares artists with art connoisseurs, collectors, and curious neighbors throughout the greater Montgomery County, Pennsylvania region. Widely regarded as a casual way to introduce art lovers and to the arts and become immersed in the creative talent scattered throughout the county, the Tour returns for its 5th year, September 24 through September 25, at 30 studios throughout Montgomery County. The tour is sponsored by Arts Montco, Montco Forward, and Citadel Credit Union.
"The artists are the soul and fabric of our rich cultural community. They are responsible for the success of the County Studio Tour," said Tour creator Jeff Schaller. "Artists contribute to the economic and cultural vitality of the area by presenting original artwork and sharing their studios with the public. We can truly celebrate five years of bringing the arts to Montgomery County."
To date, hundreds of art enthusiasts have toured local studios as part of the Montgomery County Studio Tour. The region's best artists are represented in captivating studio environments that go beyond the usual gallery experience. Visitors are offered an opportunity to delve into artists' creative processes in a casual, impactful way that transcends normal gallery interaction. Studios will exhibit painting, sculpture, jewelry, photography, clay, glass, paper and fiber. All artists will be present to interact with both buyers and browsers alike. The tour is part of Valley Forge Tourism's Arts Montco Week, a regional celebration of the over 200 arts, culture, and entertainment venues in the Valley Forge market.
