Each year, the RiverArts Studio Tour offers art lovers an opportunity to engage with artists who live and/or work in the Hudson River towns. Their open studios feature displays of ceramics, collages, drawings, fiber works, installations, mixed media, mosaics, paintings, performances, photographs, prints, sculpture sand video as well as pieces for purchase and interactive kid-friendly activities.
This year, the tour will take place 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, Sunday, Nov. 5.
“The Studio Tour is one of our most anticipated events in our programming calendar,” said tour producer Kit Demirdelen. “We are excited to see new artists joining every year.”
Added RiverArts Executive Director Josh Suniewick: “The Studio Tour is such a great opportunity for local art lovers to discover new artists in their midst and support the thriving visual arts community. I am always impressed by the number of talented artists living among us, and this event really shines a light on this unique aspect of the Rivertowns.”
RiverArts provides an interactive Google map, a print map and a downloadable map (for mobile viewing or to print at home), so that attendees can plan their artist studio visits. Attendees are encouraged to preregister for the tour on the Studio Tour website to breeze through the check-in line at each artists’ studios. In addition to improving the attendee experience of the tour, preregistration helps RiverArts record accurate attendance numbers, which in turn aids the nonprofit in obtaining grant funding.
