Explore beautiful Orcas Island on a 3-day studio tour with 30+ island artists.

From Aug. 9 to 11, follow the signs down country roads and private driveways to the studios of working island artists.

This free, self-guided tour happens every year and provides unique access to the intimate, creative, and highly personal spaces of these local artists. See artists at work, discover new processes, and hear how beautiful works of art came to be. Studios are open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for demonstrations and the opportunity to purchase art directly from the artists, many of whom create new work specifically for this event.

This year, the festival features more than 30 artists in a wide variety of mediums, including blacksmithing, ceramics, encaustics, painting, sculpture, mixed media, fine art photography, and many more.

New this year is the 2024 Studio Tour Passport. Those who traverse the whole island can be entered to win a bounty of handcrafted fine art from island artists.

Brochures will be available at the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce and at artists’ studios. Further information can be found at www.OrcasArtistStudioTour.com.
