The next four weekends deliver up a burst of studio tours, back road journeys that fill the soul with art, fall colors and contentment. I’ve been doing two or three each autumn for many years, and always end my weekends with a sense of wonder at what artists do. I also find the trek from barn to shed to studio along country lanes an achingly beautiful experience in my favorite season. I encourage you to find one in your area. Dozens of tours take place from this weekend onward, so have a look at this Pinterest board I’ve put together with some studio journey examples.
NOTE: If you know of a great fall studio tour, tell me its name or leave a link in the comments below, and I’ll add it to the Pinterest board. (Image at top of post is Marni Martin, Muskoka studio tour):

Hi! Studio tours are my favorite event, too! I am one of the art studios participating in the Canmore Studio and Gallery Tour as part of Alberta Culture Days on Sept. 29 & 30, 2012 here in the Canadian Rockies.

We would love to see you ANY time you are out west. If you ever are, just give me a call and we can take you around to a couple studios, even if an “official” tour is not on! Thanks for the post to Pinterest, too.

I’m going to be in Winnipeg for awhile. I wonder if I can find one there? Think I’ll have a look on-line.

Bet there’s something. Lots of cities do urban open-studio tours. Maybe Winnipeg?
