5th Annual Adventure into Art - Artists Open Studio Tour Event - Eureka Springs Arkansas

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Eureka Springs Artist Studio Tour?

The Eureka Springs Artist Studio Tour began in 2006 as part of the fall Arts Eye View events which included the dedication of the restoration of the Centennial Mural and the unveiling of the latest artist murals for the downtown public art exhibit, The Artery.

By the fall of 2007, the Eureka Springs Studio Tour became officially an annual event (with a logo and website and sponsorship!). Visitors in 2007 toured 18 open studios over the 3 day event. Now in its fifth year the studio tour in Eureka Springs continues to bring you the rare opportunity to visit more than 20 artists in their working studios plus a tour of the Eureka Springs School of the Arts and some new specially scheduled working artists events during the 3 days.

How does the tour work?

This is a self directed artists studio tour. Maps and a brief description of each artist studio are available online and also distributed in a printed publication which can be picked up here in town before the event and during the 3 day tour. Signs along the route direct you to the actual studios. Each studio has one or more participating artists.

The public is invited to step into the adventure of art – right into the artist workplaces to see the tools and techniques of creating art. You will be able to get to know the individual artists and catch a glimpse into the creative process. Artists will be offering demonstrations, answer questions, have “works in progress” on display and works for sale.

When is the tour?

The tour is held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday the last weekend of September each year (Sept 24-26 in 2010). You are welcome to visit from from 10 am - 6 pm on Friday and Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday.

Who is invited?

Studios are open to the general public, young and old - Art lovers, art collectors, students of art, adventurers of all sorts. We do ask that you please leave your pets at home.

Where do I get my Tour Book?

Tour Guidebooks with map and profile information on each studio and artist will be made available online later in the year and may be picked up at select locations in Eureka Springs including the Eureka Springs Visitor Centers, galleries, Studio Headquarters, and the sponsor locations. We suggest you sign up for the newsletter to be notified of the time and location of available maps.

How can I get the most out of this experience and have time to enjoy some good food and scenery, etc?

We suggest you arrive on Thursday and pick up your map or head over Friday morning to one of the headquarters or sponsor map locations. Once you receive your map you can begin planning which studios you want to visit and create your own schedule for each day of the tour. Check our sponsors for suggestions on restaurants and lodging (and let them know you are here for the tour!)

I'm not sure I can come this year, can I get on your mailing list?
