Talented local artists will open their studios to the public throughout the North Tahoe-Truckee Region for two weekends in September, celebrating the visual arts! ARTour is a self-directed studio tour offering numerous opportunities to meet artists in their work environment, to learn about a variety of art mediums, and to buy directly from the artists. This annual event showcases over 30 local artists. A variety of art mediums are featured, including watercolor, acrylics, oil and pastel paintings, in addition to weaving, glass, fabric art, ceramics, pottery, sculpture, mixed media, woodworking and photography. Many of the artists are well established with others being emerging artists. All have been juried into ARTour to ensure a high level of quality.
The North Tahoe Art Center is located at 380 North Lake Boulevard in Tahoe City, California (next to the fire station). You can visit to see a pallet of the participating artists and an exhibit of their works, or call (530) 581-2782 for more information.
