The Montgomery County Studio Tour was created to promote regional artists and contribute to the cultural vitality of Montgomery County by presenting original and diverse artwork in creative working studio settings. Fifty-four artists in different mediums such as painting, sculpture, jewelry, photography, clay, glass, paper and fiber will showcase their work in 20 studios across Montgomery County. Many studios on the Tour will feature works-in-progress and artist demonstrations.
Art enthusiasts and the curious are invited to experience a rare glimpse into the variety of art of Montgomery County as these professional artists exhibit their work during this unique and intimate two-day event. All of the artists will be on hand to talk about their work and meet buyers and browsers alike. Whether this is your first time buying art or you are a seasoned collector, this tour has something for everyone, in a wide range of mediums and prices.
Visitors are encouraged to design their own selfguided tour with the catalogue and map, which can be downloaded from www.MontgomeryCountyStudioTour.com. You can start with the studio closest to you, or anywhere you like, by using the convenient map and website.
Also, the “County Collector Series” well-known from the Chester County Studio Tour is continuing. This is an opportunity to collect an original framed 6 inch x 6 inch piece of art for the special pricing of $75. Two-dimensional artists have created an original work of art in a simple and elegant 6 inch x 6 inch frame, and threedimensional artists have also created special pieces for this series. A photo of each work in this series is included in the catalogue and may also be seen on the website.
This first Montgomery County Studio Tour was created by Jeff Schaller, painter and tour organizer, on the same model as his well received and extremely successful Chester County Studio Tour, which is in its 8th year.
