ABOUT
Since 1984, the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour has offered visitors the opportunity to explore the working studios of artists, making it one of the longest running Studio Tours in Canada. Artists working in a range of styles and media, open up their working spaces to the public and share their artistic practice, connect with potential supporters and the community, while also promoting their work. Visitors can watch artist demonstrations, learn about different artistic practices and techniques, and get a behind-the-scenes look into the working studios of the artists of the Peterborough-Kawarthas region.
This year’s tour takes place on September 28 & 29, 2024 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.
The two-day Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour is self-guided, self-driven, and admission is free.
